Description

Perfect for fans of the Percy Jackson and Seven Wonders series, The Arctic Code is the first book in an epic, fast-paced middle grade adventure trilogy by acclaimed author Matthew J. Kirby.

It is the near future, and the earth has entered a new ice age. Eleanor Perry lives in Tucson, one of the most popular destinations for refugees of the Freeze. She is the daughter of a climatologist who is trying to find new ways to preserve human life on the planet. Dr. Perry believes that a series of oil deposits she has found in the Arctic may hold the key to our survival. That's when she disappears--but not before sending Eleanor a series of cryptic messages that point to a significant and mysterious discovery. Now it's up to Eleanor to go find her.

This search will launch Eleanor on a breathless race to unlock the mysteries of what has happened to our planet, solving the riddle of the cold that could be humanity's end--and uncovering a threat to the earth that may not be of this world.

Kids Survival Story: From the refugee-filled cities of the south to the brutal, unforgiving ice sheets of the north, Eleanor must survive a planet that's trying to freeze her out.
Dystopian Science Fiction: In a near-future world gripped by a new ice age, a powerful corporation is hiding a terrible secret about what's happening to the planet.
Ancient Alien Mystery: The key to humanity's survival might lie in a discovery that isn't from this world--a threat her mother uncovered just before she disappeared.
