A decent enough children's story involving the Franklin expedition, interwoven with Belfast family, the Coppins overcoming the death of a young family member. it takes a long time before a reader might realize why exactly these two stories are interwoven with each other. When it does reach it's conclusion, there isn't much of a reveal, as it is a real tragedy the story is based on. It has a decent pace but I struggle to think what a child might find interesting in the logbook and diary entries of Francis Crozier. To me they came off as a little bit dull for a child, but because of a personal fascination with the real life voyage, I found them the most interesting part of the book.
