After surviving several mishaps in South America, Francis and his new friends eventually made it home to a contented life. A surprise letter arrives, inviting Mike, Sasha and Francis to the opening of a new racecourse in Iceland. They accept the invitation with some of the friends accompanying Francis. As in their previous trips, this one is filled with much amusement in transit, finally arriving safely in Iceland. Once again, Francis is absent from the opening ceremony because his friends get lost in the unforgiving land of survival and adventure. As they struggle to keep warm, things take a turn for the worse, and they find themselves in the company of monkeys, polar bears, seals and huskies. Blizzards, frozen waters, an abundance of snow and ice, and an eruption from an active volcano add to their woes. Being so close to the North Pole, Francis can't wait to become acquainted with a famous person: Santa Claus. The friends take up skiing and ice skating with a difference, and are faced with constant but humourous challenges in the ice.
Autorenporträt
Born August 10th 1949, Sonia McNulty was fortunate to have opportunities bestowed upon her by her parents. As a child, attending ballet school allowed her to become a professional dancer; attending drama school helped her gain parts in amateur and professional theatre; television and film was always a burning desire; attending singing classes gave her the qualities necessary to perform in operas.At the same time she followed a career in which her father saw potential as he was a brilliant architect and engineer in his time and so encouraged her in that field. Years later she became an architectural and interior designer.This continued from Singapore to the UK, New Zealand and Australia. But there was still another yearning and that was to write children's books. Being creative in her past fields gave her the ability to write as ideas poured out and characters came to life. Sometimes you do not gain world success in all the things that you want but somehow writing these stories has introduced her past life experiences on paper with the ultimate goal of seeing one of her books turned into a film.Sonia has written five children's books so far with Francis the Horse That Is, Francis Goes to Europe, Francis Goes to South America and Francis Goes to Iceland now published. Sonia's aim is to bring something unique, healthy, humorous and innocent with educational values for today's and tomorrow's children.Through her work she maintains a constant love of all animals which builds a strong bond for children to relate to in some way. Children and animals share a joy of innocence which goes hand in hand, demonstrating love in a pure and natural manner. She hopes her books will allow each child to use their imagination and travel side by side with their favourite friend as they witness their mischievous ways.
