But Maisie has to admit weird things happen around Dad. Unexplainable things. When childcare falls through and Dad has to take Maisie to Antarctica to research his next book, How To Survive In Antarctica, Maisie realises there is definitely something unusual about Dad – not only can he speak languages she never knew he could, he manages to crash-land a plane and somehow save her from being eaten by a leopard seal!
