The White Darkness, by Geraldine McCoughren

The White Darkness
by Geraldine McCaughren

Have you heard of the Hollow Earth Theory? Though contradicted by pesky evidence, some conspiracy theorists today believe that, not only is the earth hollow, but a race of subterranean people populate this underworld. Unfortunately for Sym, her Uncle Victor is an enthusiastic believer of this rather terrifying concept. He is certain there is an entrance to this underground world in Antarctica, so guess where they’re going on vacation? Catastrophic events leave Sym fighting for survival, but luckily she has her friend and first love, Titus Oates, to boost her morale. Who's Titus, you ask? He's an explorer who's been dead for about 90 years. 

I can't stop telling people that they have to read this book. So now I am telling you. Read this book - it is so bizarre and fantastic and bleak - you'll love it!

Bottom Line:
Sym's tale proves that denial is quite a convincing frenemy; I now have NO desire to visit Antarctica.
