First Light

Peter can't wait to join his parents on an expedition to the ice caps of Greenland to study global warming. He'll be swapping school for a life of adventure with dogsledding and exploration. But while he's there, he begins to suspect there might be another reason for this trip other than scientific research.And in another world, there is Thea, whose people were hunted to the ends of the earth hundreds of years ago. Now she and her family live under the ice, and she is desperate to see what's above it. When Thea and Peter meet, two worlds will collide, and a host of secrets will be released.
