I just submitted "Troubling a Star" By Madeleine.
After a year in New York City and a summer with her grandfather, Vicky Austin
returns to the rural Connecticut village she grew up in-- and feels totally
out of place. then she meets Adam Eddington's Great-aunt serena, who reminds
her of her beloved grandfather, and she begins to find a comfortable, if not
exciting, routine to her days. At Christmas, Serena gives Vicky a trip to
Antarctica, to visit Adam. Vicky can't believe her luck.
As Vicky becomes more and more caught up in a mystery involving drugs, nuclear
waste, and international espionage, she discovers that her assumptions about
the world are hopelessly naive and that life, hers included, is as fragile as
the ecosystem of Antarctica, the world's most remote continent.
As she tries to stay alive after being left on an iceberg in the Antarctic,
sixteen-year-old Vicky recalls the series of events that brought her to the
bottom of the world and involved her in a dangerous mystery. From the Austin
series. Follows "A Ring Of Endless Light".
