The Ice Children

Who are The Ice Children? Might they have been formed through magic held within a secretive silver book? Bianca retraces her little brother’s steps after he is discovered frozen in the park. She recalls the book but cannot find it anywhere except in glimpses, held by, or passed to other children. Who is the strange top- hatted stranger who appears at every juncture?

Although nobody seems to attend to Bianca’s investigation, she’s determined to discover what is behind the doors of the bookbinding factory. What she finds leads to a palace of wonder and danger. How can Bianca unlock the magic and release Finn and the other Ice Children? Then again, what is the reason for this freezing? Could it be anything to do with another child? A scared brother? The future of winter?

M.G. Leonard has created a story of wonder and spectacle, compelling and magical. Not only do we appreciate the family love shared by Bianca and Finn, but are reminded, thoroughly, of seasonal glories, and the threat to this phenomenon. Through employing traditional story lore, alongside our love of seasonal change and knowledge of climate change damage, this talented writer has created a story that will linger in memories and hearts forever. Bookwagon loves and recommends The Ice Children.
