What does the Pageticker team say about The Snow Girl?

The Snow Girl is a tender, wintry fairy tale from the story of the Snow Maiden, blending folk magic, starlit adventure and some very real feelings about loneliness, trust and change. The relationship between Tasha and her grandpa is especially lovely. The beautifully illustrated winter world gives the book plenty of sparkle; do keep a box of tissues nearby, as the story explores illness, fear and the pain of saying goodbye.
