{"product_id":"the-great-northern-expedition-9781568464015","title":"The Great Northern Expedition","description":"In the 1700s, Russia's rulers funded an expedition to Siberia and beyond--to the mysterious North American coastline of what would later become Alaska. Ambitious in scope and incredibly lengthy in time commitment, the Great Northern Expedition was ultimately doomed and largely lost to history. Italian artist Maria Cristina Pritelli here reimagines it through the eyes of the young son of Sven Waxell, second-in-command to the famous Danish captain Vitus Bering. Pritelli's cinematic landscapes and attention to both historical and natural detail imbue the fateful voyage with a subtle beauty that makes it easy to consider the appeal such a mission of discovery would have had centuries ago.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Maria Cristina Pritelli\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Creative Editions\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 03\/10\/2026\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 32\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.94lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 12.25h x 8.18w x 0.40d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781568464015\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAudience:\u003c\/b\u003e Ages 9-12\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAccelerated Reader:\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eReading Level:\u003c\/b\u003e 4.4\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePoint Value:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.5\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eInterest Level:\u003c\/b\u003e Lower Grade\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eQuiz #\/Name: \u003c\/b\u003e557717 \/ Great Northern Expedition\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eReview Citation(s): \u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eKirkus Reviews\u003c\/i\u003e 01\/15\/2026\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eForeword\u003c\/i\u003e 02\/06\/2026\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAbout the Author\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003eMaria Cristina Pritelli is an internationally recognized children's book illustrator whose recent works for Creative Editions include A Wish Is a Seed, Seaside Lullaby, The Million Stories of Marco Polo, and Sashiko.
