Winterling by Sarah Prineas

4.0

Great addition to the middle-reader genre for fantasy! I really enjoyed the elements in this novel since there was a strong female heroine who didn't stop asking questions (book would have received a 3 star if it wasn't for Fer). The plot was fast paced and the elements of fantasy weren't esoteric, so it wouldn't be an unfamiliar landscape for readers. It was an exceptionally quick read and I can totally see how 3-6 graders would enjoy this story. Reminded me of Breadcrumbs. The grandmother was less than sympathetic, I was glad when she stayed behind the "real" world, but thought the author missed an opportunity to have a strong adult in the story.
