Description

At the stroke of midnight on the dawn of December, five-year-old Finn Albedo is found frozen on a pedestal of ice. His heart is beating, he is smiling, but no one can wake him.


Finn’s big sister, Bianca, suspects that the tall mysterious stranger who first discovered Finn knows more than they will admit?


Bianca's quest to discover the truth and rescue her little brother hurls her into a fantastical winter wonderland, full of beauty, danger and irresistible spirit animals, where all is not as it seems.

Reviews

'A modern day classic. Full of heart and hope.' Hannah Gold, bestselling author of The Last Bear  'As unforgettable as Hans Christian Andersen's "The Snow Queen" . . . a whirlingly imaginative storyline full of wonder and hope as well as warning.' - The Times
