A tale that sparkles with frosty magic. * Thomas Taylor *
It’s a thick book and some chapters are scary but it’s so interesting and surprising that you won’t want to put it down! * Layla (Age 10), National Geographic Kids *
An engrossing first novel by Katharine Orton…this is fantasy at its glutinous best. * The Daily Telegraph, Books of the Year - Children’s & Stocking Fillers *
It’s an unusual juxtaposition – the harsh world of political prisoners in a forced labour camp versus one of ice castles, spirit children and giant eagles. Katharine Orton pulls it off brilliantly. * Bookseller *
The children will need every ounce of courage - and a whisper of magic - if they are to survive. Perfect for fans of Abi Elphinstone, Sophie Anderson and Catherine Doyle. * Librarian’s Book Choice, School Zone *
