Ash Grimes, born and raised at the Arctic research centre responsible, dreams of becoming a Mammoth Rider, just like her dad. But mammoths are wild animals and it isn’t easy to earn their trust.

So when Ash meets a white mammoth calf, the first of its kind, she’s determined to do anything to protect her new friend.
