description: Chanelle laughed. You'd never have the guts to get near a polar bear in real life. And you'd never travel that far. You the mamma's boy I hear.But Chanelle is wrong. Alvin has more guts than even he realizes. And he isn't a mamma's boy. In fact when his over protective mother goes too far he leaves home.Where can Alvin go though?He heads north. He will follow in the footsteps of his hero -- Matthew Henson the bold Arctic explorer. Alvin will prove that he can take care of himself. Alvin will go north to the deadly cold; north to terrifying frozen windy expanses where it's easy to get lost even near shelter; north to polar bears and wolves; north to himself. . . .
