(1) YA Fourteen-year-old Sym loves a polar explorer named Titus who lives in her head. From this premise McCaughrean builds a page-turning survival thriller, as Sym and her eccentric uncle Victor join a polar expedition. What makes the book stand out is Sym's unique personality; her relationship with Titus; the slow revelation of Victor's malevolence; and McCaughrean's inspired wordplay and powerful imagery.
