Polar Nights: Cast Into Darkness by Jen Calonita, Mari Mancusi

5.0

This early chapter book is perfect for Frozen fans who want to continue to follow all of Elsa's and Anna's adventures off the big screen! I also love that much like the movies, elements of Scandinavian culture and language are included in the book, such as names of foods and places. The chapters alternate between Elsa and Anna narrating and are on average about 15 pages long. There are no pictures but the pages contain a highly-detailed thunderstorm-themed border in black and white and will be intriguing to middle grade readers. At over 300 pages, this chapterbook is also a great length for readers who are building reading stamina and ready for longer, more complex plots and storylines. As a grade 3/4 teacher I can definitely see my students loving this book. I would definitely recommend this book to parents and teachers of children in the 8-12 range who are fans of Frozen!
Thank you to Netgalley and the publisher for giving me the opportunity to read and review this wonderful book!
