The White Darkness by Geraldine McCaughreanStory of survival of a 14 year old girl named Symone; Sym. She's someone who is obsessed with Antartica and seems like a dream come true when her "Uncle" Victor takes her on a journey there. Since she has a great fascination with Antartica she has an imaginary friend Captain Lawrence "Titus" Oates who was actually an Antartica explorer 90 years before her journey there. What she thought was going to be a great adventure only turns out to be a bad dream once they reach their destination. "Uncle" Victor turns out to be a manipulator and has his own dreams of conquering Antartica. While there she learns of his true identity and her inner voice and friendship with Titus is what helps her to survive this journey. This is a book I would recommend be read by students in high school since some of the vocabulary and events might be a bit hard to comprehend by the younger reader.
