White DarknessGeraldine McCaughrean
Taken to Antarctica by the man she thinks of as her uncle for what she believes to be a vacation, Symone--a troubled fourteen year old--discovers that he is dangerously obsessed with seeking Symme's Hole, an opening that supposedly leads into the center of a hollow Earth.
The Michael L. Printz award is given out once a year to a book that geared toward teens and is literarily excellent (my twist on "literary excellence" - like it?).
