The book is a modern fairytale adventure celebrating the magic and wonder of winter in all its forms by M.G. Leonard, the award-winning, bestselling author of Adventures on Trains, Twitch, and Beetle Boy. Inspired by Hans Christian Andersen’s The Snow Queen, the hardback book features gorgeous illustrations in black-and-white throughout by Penny Neville-Lee complementing Leonard’s tale. It’s a perfect gift for boys and girls ages 8-12.
At the stroke of midnight on the dawn of December, five-year-old Finn Albedo is found frozen in the city park standing on a pedestal of ice. His heart is beating, he is smiling serenely, but no one can wake him.
Finn’s big sister, Bianca, suspects that the beautiful sparkling book Finn got from the library has something to do with it, but the book has vanished. Does the tall mysterious stranger who first discovered Finn know more than they will admit.
Each day, more children are found frozen, and Bianca realizes she’s running out of time. Her quest to discover the truth and rescue her little brother hurls her into a fantastical winter wonderland, full of beauty and danger, where all is not as it seems . . . Can Bianca save her brother and the other Ice Children before they are forever lost?
“The Ice Children makes for a compelling winter treat as it is full of mesmerizing danger and excitement, with a strong ecological message, too,” said Nick Barrucci, Dynamite Entertainment CEO and Publisher. “We’re all thrilled at Dynamite to be bringing M. G. Leonard’s talent for writing exciting mystery stories to our North American readers.”
THE ICE CHILDREN is slated for release in January 2025. It’s available through all fine retailers of books.
