Reviews for Beyond the Sea of Ice
'Where Goodman's book shines is the foldout maps and diagrams of the voyages and in the journal entries by Hudson and members of his crew ... When the next group of students with an assignment on explorers descends on the library, have this useful and attractive resource on hand' Mollie Brynum, School Library Journal.
