Book Week - Author Visit #2

Today we had our second author visit of book week. Joanna Grochowicz is a New Zealand Author who has written two books set in Antartica. Her books are called Into the White and Amundsen's Way, these books are about the race to the be the first person to reach the South Pole. Joanna talked to us about the journey the two men went on in an effort to be the first person to reach the South Pole. We learnt that the crew on Ronald Amundsen's boat thought they were going to the North Pole as Ronald Amundsen didn't want anyone knowing he was going to race Captain Scott to the South Pole.
