Ranger’s time-travel adventure enters the history of early twentieth-century polar exploration. Aboard Captain Robert Falcon Scott’s ship, the search-and-rescue-trained golden retriever befriends Jack Nin, a stowaway who becomes a cabin boy, as the expedition travels from New Zealand toward Antarctica. The race to reach the South Pole unfolds amid unstable ice, killer whales, and blizzards, tying the historical setting to hazards that threaten the travelers’ survival. This fourth Ranger in Time installment combines a child’s perspective on life aboard an expedition ship with a journey into a demanding chapter of exploration.
