Skyracer - Yellow Book : Down on the Ice

This is a recount taken from an interview with conservationist Rose Evans who spent three weeks in the Antarctic studying a hut built there by the famous British explorer, Robert Scott.

The text is part of a guided reading series of 96 chapter books for children aged seven to 11. With 24 chapter books at each year level (12 fiction and 12 nonfiction) the "Collins Skyracer" series provides a wide range of action-packed books to enthuse and motivate.

Ever wanted to find out what it's like to live in the Antarctic?

To compete in a race across the harsh desert? To jump from a plane and break a record? Or maybe you love reading traditional tales, science fiction or graphic novels?

Whatever your guided reading groups like to read about, "Skyracer" should have books for you.
