"The English at the North Pole" by Jules Verne is a story from the 1800s about Richard Shandon, who leads a ship called the "Forward" to the Arctic. This trip is full of secrets, especially about their mysterious leader known only as K. Z. The book is about exploring, having adventures, and facing the scary unknown as the crew gets ready to deal with the tough Arctic waters. The book starts by showing how busy and exciting it was when the "Forward" left Liverpool. As Shandon puts his crew together and checks everything for the trip, you can really feel the adventure starting. But things get weird when they find out their captain is a dog, which makes the story funny and strange, and makes everyone wonder what kind of trip they're really on. With excitement and worry, Shandon and his crew head into the icy seas, not knowing what problems they will face.
