Ten-year-old Aurora Boray Alice and a talking polar bear companion drift from Northern Canada across oceans and continents in a story of friendship, survival and environmental awareness

United Kingdom – September 4, 2026 – About the Book: The Amazing Adventures of Aurora Boray Alice: A Journey Around The World on Ice, written by Jamie Weeden and published in 2026, is a middle-grade adventure novel set primarily in the Arctic and on the open sea. The story centres on Aurora Boray Alice, a ten-year-old girl living in the small fishing town of Avannarleq Hiqiniq in Northern Canada. After becoming separated from her husky Rascal during an Arctic storm while fishing for char, Aurora encounters Buster, a large polar bear who can speak.

When the ice on which they stand breaks away, Aurora and Buster find themselves adrift on an iceberg. Their journey carries them across the Atlantic, past new lands, near New York waters, through tropical seas and into jungle environments. Along the way they meet a range of talking animals, face human and animal antagonists, experience the rapid spread of a social-media message about their mission, and confront the realities of a changing polar landscape. The narrative follows their efforts to return home while seeking to draw attention to the condition of the planet.

The book is written in a straightforward, conversational style suited to younger readers. It incorporates elements of Arctic life, traditional Inuit fishing knowledge, family relationships and the unexpected consequences of online communication. The story concludes with Aurora’s homecoming and a reflection on the bonds formed during the voyage.

Key Highlights:

  • Centres on a realistic Northern Canadian fishing community and the daily challenges of Arctic living, including ice fishing and seasonal extremes.
  • Features a talking polar bear companion named Buster whose character provides both humour and practical support throughout the voyage.
  • Depicts an accidental circumnavigation by iceberg that takes the protagonists from polar waters through temperate and tropical regions.
  • Incorporates themes of environmental change, including thinning ice and the displacement of wildlife, presented through the characters’ direct observations.
  • Explores the rapid global reach of a single social-media message sent from the iceberg and its effect on public awareness and the protagonist’s family.
  • Includes encounters with additional talking animals and human antagonists that create both obstacles and alliances.
  • Emphasises intergenerational knowledge, particularly fishing skills passed from grandfather to granddaughter, alongside themes of family reunion.
