East by Edith Pattou


In which the girl Rose follows her destiny with a big white bear, saving her family and her self in the process. In this retelling of the Norweigan fairy tale "East of the Sun, West of the Moon," we follow our heroine through dangerous adventures, a mysterious magical castle, watch her battle an evil Troll Queen, and sympathize with her family issues.

Describing this magical story is extremely hard because it's just so BIG. There's so much to it! The story is told from several different viewpoints, including Rose, her father, her brother, the White Bear, and the Troll Queen, so while you are reading, your experience of the story keeps widening. All I can say is that this is one of the best books I have ever read - please read this wonderful, wonderful book and I'm sure it will become a favorite of yours, too.

Recommended for: EVERYONE!!!
