Through the Air to the North Pole by Roy Rockwood
"Through the Air to the North Pole" by Roy Rockwood is a science fiction novel written in the early 20th century. The story follows two orphans, Jack Darrow and Mark Sampson, who escape a petty constable in their small town and find themselves embarking on an extraordinary adventure when they accidentally board a runaway freight train. Their journey leads them to an inventor, Professor Henderson, who has created a groundbreaking airship calledthe Electric Monarch, destined for the North Pole. The opening of the book introduces Jack and Mark as they flee from Freeport, facing the misjudgment of society and their fight for survival as they seek companionship and a new path in life. Their interaction with the brusque constable sets the tone for their daring escape, and their subsequent encounter with a freight train propels them into the eccentric world of the professor. As they delve into their adventures, they not only experience the thrill of traveling through the air but also confront challenges such as a railroad accident, an encounter with eagles, and the dangers of the arctic environment, all while forming friendships and uncovering their potential for bravery.
