Winterfrost by Michelle Houts

5.0

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?
