It’s the start of a winter like any other in our world, where Gerda works in her beloved conservatory while her twin brother, Kai, falls in love with their beautiful new neighbor. Everything changes when a sliver of an enchanted mirror begins to corrupt Kai. The Snow Queen, a barely-remembered character in Scandinavian folktales, is revealed to be anything but imaginary when she abducts Kai to fix her broken mirror than can make winter last forever. If Gerda wants to save her brother and stop the Snow Queen, she will have to journey through all four seasons in a world where birds can change into humans, trolls lurk in the forest, and memory is a fickle thing.This memorable retelling of Hans Christian Andersen’s “The Snow Queen” is sure to delight fans of fairy tales and adventure.
