The Arctic Code

by Matthew J. Kirby

Definitely worth reading!


Perfect for fans of the Percy Jackson and Seven Wonders series, The Arctic Code is the first book in an epic, fast-paced middle grade adventure trilogy by acclaimed author Matthew J. Kirby. It is the near future, and the earth has entered a new ice age. Eleanor Perry lives in Tucson, one of the most popular destinations for refugees of the Freeze. She is the daughter of a climatologist who is trying to find new ways to preserve human life on the planet. Dr. Perry believes that a series of oil deposits she has found in the Arctic may hold the key to our survival. That's when she disappears—but not before sending Eleanor a series of cryptic messages that point to a significant and mysterious discovery. Now it's up to Eleanor to go find her. This search will launch Eleanor on a breathless race to unlock the mysteries of what has happened to our planet, solving the riddle of the cold that could be humanity's end—and uncovering a threat to the earth that may not be of this world.

The Arctic Code was a thrilling read. I really enjoyed it and it kept me in suspense until the very end.

I believe the main character’s heroism in the face of overwhelming resistance really allowed the book to gain depth. The way the author portrayed Eleanor as a daredevil who is willing to take risks enhanced the narrative and managed to keep the plotline exciting. Also the way that they use fringe theories to create an adventure managed to keep the reader’s interest until the end.

All in all, this was a very good book and I would definitely recommend it.
