I didn't know you read MG! I usually stay away from it because I find it too kiddish but if someone pressures me enough to read one I will. Great review Lauren, I might just buy this one for my little sister when it comes out in hopes that she'll like it! <br />Lily @ LilysbookblogAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6652084782125897918.post-62659574763599987272014-01-30T16:45:06.338-05:002014-01-30T16:45:06.338-05:00I'm not too familiar with Snow Queen either, b...I'm not too familiar with Snow Queen either, beyond what I've seen on screen, but I really like the sound of this book. It's not often that I'll gravitate towards something middle grade, but I have a strong feeling that this will work for me, so I can't wait to give it a try. I'm glad you thought it was a delightful book overall.

I think I'll be skipping out on this one, only because MG doesn't always work out for me. Wonderful mini-review, though, Lauren!Keertanahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01071392026876644282noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6652084782125897918.post-13222398743774122702014-01-30T11:10:29.470-05:002014-01-30T11:10:29.470-05:00This looks adorable.

I have no idea if they like fairytale retellings as much as I do, but I sure hope so!

I think that the story could teach a lot to a kid and I always love a good retelling (I'm pretty familiar with Snow Queen since it was one of my favorites a s a kid). Plus, I'm a sucker for a good illustration book. I love watching beautiful drawings, especially if they're colourful. I'm better in painting than drawing so anything to do with colours is always a plus in my book. I actually like the premise and the journey Ophelia goes through and MG reads usually aren't that long so this may be my first MG read in forever.
