Summary:
Ophelia and her sister have been moved to an odd place where it always snows. Their mother has recently passed away and their father has decided to take a job at a strange museum in this new place. While exploring, Ophelia finds a boy. He is a prisoner of the Snow Queen and needs Ophelia's help. The two of them go on an adventure to stop the Snow Queen and save the world.
My thoughts:
This was an interesting twist of an older classic. Much like the fairy tale, it's a story about courage, friendship, and perseverance. Their journey is difficult and tests beliefs, but ultimately is about acceptance and overcoming odds. Ophelia is very objective, methodical, and logic-minded. This makes her hesitant in some cases, but also gives a good amount of explanation for the reader. I enjoyed that part because it gave me answers to questions that I may have asked. While I'm not completely logical, I do plan everything (it's a teacher trait), so Ophelia's process was often enjoyable. Overall, I enjoyed the novel and would recommend from 4th-7th grade (maybe older if they like fairy tales, or Lion, Witch, and the Wardrobe).
