What comes to mind when you think of Winter?

For me, it’s intricate patterns of snowflakes, frozen lakes, the art of frosted leaves, jumpers & scarves and chilly morning walks where you can see your breath in front of you.

As the planet continues to warm, we risk losing all of the wonderful things that make Winter magical - alongside childhood dreams of snow days, building snowmen and making snow angels…

Bianca’s little brother is found in the park encased in ice, frozen but still alive, and she only has until the Winter Solstice to save him.

When a mysterious man with a top hat appears with sparkly silver books, more & more children are found frozen, and Bianca finds herself in a magical winter wonderland where she discovers that there is a lot more at stake than her little brother's life…

A thrilling fantasy adventure with an important call to action to restore balance to the natural world before it is too late. This enchanting read will inspire generations to come - the future Ice Children. 

The Ice Children is a striking reminder of the beauty and importance of Winter and what is at stake if the balance of the seasons is disrupted, whilst highlighting the power we possess when we unite and work together.

There is a recurring message throughout the book about the power of books and stories. How they can change, not just lives, but the world. The Ice Children is definitely going to be one of those world-changing books.

A modern fairytale and a definite future classic - M.G.Leonard has done it again!
