The Ice Children

English

By (author): M. G. Leonard

Illustrated by: Penny Neville-Lee

'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

M. G. Leonard's story of a brave girl and her reindeer friend, who try to save her brother, is the perfect winter treat. The Ice Children is an exciting, modern, magical mystery adventure by the author of Beetle Boy, Adventures on Trains and the Twitchers series.

A sparkling, elegant homage to Hans Christian Andersen Illustrated in black and white throughout by Penny Neville-Lee.

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.

Finns 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.
