When Gerda's brother Kay doesn't return after a summer spent with their estranged mother, Gerda knows he's under a spell. Her father may be spelled so he can't believe in magic, no matter what he sees, but Gerda sees everything with her True Sight -- all the colored threads of magic that twist minds and hearts. If only she wasn't a powerless Blank! But she's still the daughter of the Snow Queen, and let's face it: she's all that Kay has.

Little brothers are worth rescuing.

Sometimes, you have to run away in order to come home.

You may think you know the story of The Snow Queen, but you've never read it like this.
