A Search for the Northern Lights Summary

A Search for the Northern Lights by Elizabeth Rusch

A mother-daughter story of an adventure-filled search for the amazing aurora borealis.

Alix and her mom are fascinated by the nighttime light displays in the sky known as auroras, or northern lights, but being able to see them in person proves to be more challenging than expected. Where do they appear? When? How could Alix and her mom get there to see the auroras before they disappear from the sky? Inspired by the authors' own experiences, A Search for the Northern Lights brings the reader along on a fascinating journey as Alix and her mom eagerly learn what auroras are and how to find them. The book also includes science and more information on auroras, plus a helpful guide for those hoping to catch their own glimpse of the incredible northern lights.

A Search for the Northern Lights Reviews

A young girl and her mother chase the aurora borealis. . . the vast majority of science facts are found only in the dense, text-heavy backmatter, which explains the science behind eclipses and auroras, describes how to hunt for them and the best conditions for seeing them, and provides further resources. Lee's nature scenes can be luminous, the colors at their best seeming to glow on the pages and beckon readers in. . . may have readers itching to start hunts of their own. * Kirkus Reviews *
Science facts are straightforwardly conveyed . . . Lee's acrylic illustrations show swirling Northern Lights and birch trees below bathed in deep purple and blue luminosity. Back matter provides further scientific information, along with a 'Step-by-Step Guide to Aurora Hunting.' VERDICT A STEM-worthy addition to collections. * School Library Journal *
