A FIVE STARS READERS’ FAVORITE® picture book for children and a MOM'S CHOICE AWARDS® SILVER MEDALIST! A fun exciting read aloud for kids of any age...with wolves, magic, an icy evil queen and her giant body-guard spider, sacrifice, and friendship, plus a great message for kids---hero triumphs by reading! “The story is filled with chills, thrills, adventure, mystery, and excitement and will keep children glued to the pages. What I like about the book is the messages of friendship, unity, and cooperation it conveys to young readers, encouraging them to develop their good points while growing up. The illustrations are fascinating and they capture the starkness and chill of the Ice Queen beautifully. The pictures also bring the story alive to readers. It is a good book for interactive sessions in classrooms and school libraries because of the messages, and the story is exciting for bedtime story-telling. The Ice Queen, wolves, spider webs, Infurious, the man-eating spider, and the illustrations make it a wonderful book for children.” -- Readers’ Favorite® Five Stars "Wonderful book!

On their bone-chilling adventure, Yukon and John learn the importance of standing up against evil, and that an answer can always be found by flipping through the yellowed pages of a book.

Most of the marvels or impossibilities in here are to be found in the picture there presented to us of Scottish names, manners and costumes. It will hardly be denied that such a Scotch family name as Ursiclos, and such clans as the clan McDouglas and the clan Melville, are sufficiently impossible ; nor can it be counted as anything less than a marvel for a lowland gentleman’s butler to wait at dinner and perform all his other duties clad in the ‘garb of old Gaul!’ But these and innumerable errors of the same kind are all due, apparently, to a fixed idea on the part of M. Verne that all Scotchmen are Highlanders. The story is a perfect setting for the admirable descriptions of Scotch scenery which are the best feature in the book.
