Okay, I lied. I got carried away on Netgalley the other day and got a whole bunch of new 2014 books. So this isn't shortlisted for 2013 MSBA - it's just a new one I'm reading, maybe for next year's MSBA?
Ophelia has recently lost her mother, her sister is despondent and her dad won't talk about it. They travel to a city where it always snows where his dad is preparing an exhibit of swords for a museum. During her wanderings she comes across a boy locked in a room. This boy - this marvelous boy - tells her a strange story of wizards, magical swords, and a snow queen. Can Ophelia find the courage to find the keys, rescue the boy, and maybe save the world?
I really enjoyed this. I worked for many hours today on a final project for my Masters degree and I needed a break. The book wasn't too long - thank you and it moved along well.
Readit :)
