The Ice Queen
Ernest Ingersoll
Lu par LibriVox Volunteers
When four young people decide to undertake a skating trek across the Arctic ice, there are sure to be adventures. Aleck becomes “Captain,” Kate makes sure everything is packed, Jim, the youngest of the family provides his sled and is useful in so many ways, Tug knows how to make “twitch-ups,” and let’s not forget Rex, the strong and fearless dog who helps fight off enemies. Ernest Ingersoll, better known for his nature books, such as “The Ocean,” and his travel accounts, such as “Knocking around the Rockies,” gives as a delightful tale of adventure, survival, and achievement for young people. - Summary by Larry Wilson (5 hr 12 min)

Critiques
Huckleberry Gap
This is just the sort of story I enjoy with outdoor adventures and capable youngsters, but I gave up part way through because there are repeated sections, sections that seem to have missed out on editing, and maybe even some missing bits. Hope this can be fixed.
