About this book
Albie is an ordinary little boy who has some extra-ordinary adventures!
When Mum says they’re going to the museum, Albie isn’t too keen. But the Arctic exhibition soon captures his imagination, especially when real snow starts to fall!
Suddenly a huge polar bear appears, ridden by a girl called Yura. Together Yura, Tuka the bear and Albie journey across the beautiful Arctic wilderness in search of the frozen sea and Yura’s home. They build an igloo, dodge giant snowballs and wolves, and hitch a ride on a friendly Orca!
With stunning Arctic scenery and lots of cute animals, this is a great story for introducing the concept of global warming and Arctic ecosystems. With a strong message of friendship and co-operation, it would be a great addition to any home or school library.
This is the eighth exciting adventure in the best-selling Albie series.
