Emmeline Widget has never left Widget Manor – and that’s the way she likes it.

Onboard she is befriended by an urchin stowaway called Thing. But before she can reach her destination she is kidnapped by the sinister Dr Siegfried Bauer.
Dr Bauer is bound for the ice fields of Greenland to summon a legendary monster from the deep. And he isn’t the only one determined to unleash the creature. The Northwitch has laid claim to the beast, too.

Review:
This was a fun, quick and easy read. I loved the characters (especially Thing) and the plot was engaging. I couldn't stop reading. There were elements of steampunk and fantasy which worked really well together in this middle grade polar story. I'm looking forward to more from this author.
