Synopsis

Can one girl’s voice save the Arctic?Eleven‑year‑old Sydney Cabella has always felt connected to wild and endangered animals. When her family travels to the Arctic islands of Svalbard, Norway, Sydney is thrilled to explore a world of snow, sea ice, and polar bears. Her genius twin sister, Sierra, relies on facts and logic, and is certain animals don’t talk—no matter how much Sydney wishes they could.After a terrifying accident on the sea ice, Sydney discovers an impossible ability: she can hear animals speak—and what they tell her is urgent. The Arctic is melting. Their homes are disappearing. Time is running out.Arctic animals—including a ringed seal and a polar bear—share a warning about climate change, but the message is confusing, and Sydney can’t decode it alone. When Sierra refuses to believe her, the sisters drift apart just when the animals need them most.With only 72 hours before they leave the Arctic, Sydney must decide whether to stay silent or speak up for the voiceless animals. With Sydney’s extraordinary gift and Sierra’s brilliant problem‑solving skills, the twins discover that together they might be strong enough to make a difference.At the Edge of the Ice is a thrilling middle‑grade eco‑adventure filled with heart, humor, and hope. Set against the breathtaking Arctic landscape, it blends science with a touch of magic to show readers that even small voices can create big change.Eco Warriors is a high‑stakes eco‑adventure series where kids protect real ecosystems through courage, teamwork, and science‑based action.
