About This Book

A spirited nine-year-old girl, resentful of childhood limits, touches a Wishing Post and embarks by flying ship to the North Pole, where a mix of enchantment and absurdity unfolds. Her wish propels episodic adventures among icy landscapes, talking animals, eccentric polar characters, and sudden climate oddities; scenes include meetings with explorers and Santa Claus, comic mishaps, rescues, and narrow escapes. The narrative balances whimsy and gentle lessons about desire, growth, and the comforts of home, presented in short illustrated episodes that shift between cozy domestic vignettes and spectacular northern marvels.
