Finn, your Starvard guide

Halo, nama saya Finn, dan saya akan membantu kamu memahami buku ini.

Ini dia, dijelaskan seperti untuk anak usia 10 tahun:

Semua orang di Inggris ingin tahu apa yang terjadi pada Sir John Franklin, yang hilang di Arktik dengan dua kapal dan semua anak buahnya. Kapten McClintock membawa kapal pesiar kecil, Fox, masuk ke dalam es untuk mencari tahu. Ia melewati musim dingin di dalam es, naik kereta luncur ratusan mil, dan pulang membawa satu satunya catatan tertulis yang ditinggalkan ekspedisi yang hilang itu. Ini adalah petualangan sejati, diceritakan dengan sederhana oleh orang yang menjalaninya.
