In this middle grade historical adventure, a dog travels through time to take part in a voyage from New Zealand to the South Pole.Ranger, the time-traveling golden retriever with search-and-rescue training, joins an early twentieth-century expedition journeying from New Zealand to Antarctica. He befriends Jack Nin, the stowaway turned cabin boy of Captain Robert Falcon Scott’s ship. They’re racing against a rival explorer to reach the South Pole, but with unstable ice, killer whales, and raging blizzards, the journey turns into a race against time . . . and a struggle to stay alive.Praise for the first book in the Ranger in Time series:"This excellent story contains historical details, full-page illustrations, and enough action to keep even reluctant readers engaged." -School Library Journal"The third-person narration expertly balances Ranger’s thoughts between the appropriately doglike (squirrels! bacon!) and the heroic (Ranger’s drive to find and protect)." -Kirkus Reviews"Mc Morris’s richly rendered illustrations heighten the plot’s many moments of danger and drama, and Messner incorporates a wealth of historical details into her rousing adventure story." -Publishers Weekly
