This is an adorable and fun read perfect for 3rd-4th graders around Christmas time. It would probably make a great 2nd grade read aloud too and would fit very well into a study of the way different cultures and countries celebrate the holiday season. I enjoyed the characters, and the adventure was a good one though the level of peril was quite low. I do find it hard to understand why any parents would leave a 12 year old home alone with a baby, but okay.

Not a lot of adventure in this book, but it’s sweet and imaginative. My son and I both enjoyed it.

A cute little story about the love between sisters, believing in things you can not see and forgiveness. A magican adventure.

Winterfrost is such a cute and entertaining middle grade book for the Christmas season. A little slow in the first few chapters, but overall I think it was one of my favorite books that I've read in 2020.
During the Christmas season in Denmark local folklore says that Nisse are known to live among humans and help take care of them without being seen. It's just a story...right?
But when Bettina's parents have to go away to take care of relatives for awhile, and she us left home to take care of her baby sister Pia...something is forgotten. They forget to leave out the traditional rice pudding for the Nisse. And the next morning Bettina's sister is found missing. Who...or what has taken her sister, and what do they want?
