HEARTS OF ICE

Evangeline has been lonely her whole life, always moving from one boring suburban town to another. But on her twelfth birthday, she finds her room full of snow, with a message written in the frost on her mirror:

HELP

Evangeline learns that she has a twin sister. They were born in another world—a wintry land of music and ancient sorcery. Now, someone is calling to Evangeline across worlds, and will stop at nothing to lure her back into that magical realm where danger lurks.

"[T]he quick-paced story packs plenty of details and red herrings to keep middle-grade readers, particularly Frozen fans, guessing Evangeline’s outcome . . . This blend of princess power, traditional fantasy, and bountiful snow is a win-win(ter) mix."
