For fun he likes to do origami (but only basic triangles) or jigsaw puzzles of a cloudless sky (yep, every piece is blue).

But Maisie has to admit weird things happen around Dad. Unexplainable things…When childcare falls through and Dad has to take Maisie to Antarctica to research his next book, How To Survive In Antarctica, Maisie realises there is definitely something unusual about Dad… Maisie is determined to find out the truth about her dad.

Nika –
Maisie has the most BORING dad ever – his idea of fun is doing jigsaws and even owning a bike is too dangerous in his opinion. He writes books like “How to Defuse a Bomb” or “How to Wrestle with a Crocodile”, but can’t actually do any of these things. Then a babysitter falls through and he has to take Maisie on his next work research trip – to Antarctica of all places. While they are surrounded by ice and with only a pile of gross-looking fish for food, Maisie realises that something weird is happening and things are stranger that her dad claims. Is there more to dad than Maisie thinks? Going to Antarctica is already a completely different kind of summer holiday, but what Maisie experiences is a totally new ball-game … Read it, it’s great!
