Wonder at the Edge of the World

(4) 4-6 Hallelujah Wonder's father died protecting the Medicine Head, so she knows it's important to get it to Antarctica, where the cold will calm its powers. On her journey with runaway slave Eustace, she comes to understand the cursed talisman's dangers. Some modern sensibilities in the 1850s setting (discussed in an author's note) require suspension of disbelief, but the adventure is an engaging one.
