Sara Wheeler is an English travel writer who was chosen by US National Science Foundation as their first female writer-in-residence at the South Pole, and she spent seven months in Antarctica. She wrote both an adult and children's book about her experiences. This book, Dear Daniel: Letters from Antarctica in the UK and Greetings from Antarctica in the US, is set up as a series of letters to her nephew, Daniel. But the majority of the book is boxes of information about Antarctica and life in McMurdo Station. Although the letters are written simply, the rest of the text is more complex and detailed. The pages are crowded with photographs that the author took on her trip. The book is a way to make the information more accessible to children, and could be used with multi-aged groups by reading either the letters or text. ( )
