Produktbeschreibung
Through the air to the North Pole or the wonderful cruise of the electric monarch presents a journey that blends invention, resilience, and the pursuit of a place in the world. Centered on two young individuals escaping an unjust system, the story evolves into an exploration of science and wonder as they encounter an inventor with an ambitious dream. Boarding an advanced airship built for polar exploration, they are launched into an aerial expedition toward the unknown. Their voyage is marked by adversity, from mechanical failures and wildlife encounters to the harshness of the arctic. These challenges serve as trials that shape their identity and reveal their capacity for bravery and adaptation. The narrative contrasts society s rejection of the protagonists with their growing sense of purpose as they journey further from the world that failed them. As they soar toward the North Pole, they form bonds, discover hidden strength, and redefine what it means to belong. The story offers a reflection on innovation, courage, and the power of escaping limitations to embrace the extraordinary.

Roy Rockwood was a pseudonym used by Edward Stratemeyer and the Stratemeyer Syndicate for a variety of adventure books, especially those targeting young boys. The name is most notably remembered for the Bomba the Jungle Boy series, which became one of the popular titles under this pen name. Edward L. Stratemeyer, the mastermind behind the Syndicate, was an American publisher and a prolific writer of children's fiction. Born on October 4, 1862, in Elizabeth, New Jersey, Stratemeyer founded the Stratemeyer Syndicate, a publishing company that produced a remarkable volume of children s books. Throughout his career, Stratemeyer wrote or oversaw the production of over 1,300 books, with total sales exceeding 500 million copies worldwide. His work includes famous series such as The Hardy Boys and Nancy Drew. Stratemeyer's ability to create enduring series was central to his success, and his influence in children's literature remains substantial. He passed away on May 10, 1930, at the age of 67 in Newark, New Jersey, and is buried at Evergreen Cemetery & Crematory in Hillside, New Jersey. His daughter, Harriet Adams, later took over his legacy, continuing the Syndicate's work.
