About this listen

This is the story of Ophelia Jane Worthington-Whittard, who doesn't believe in anything. She is still grieving for her dead mother when her father takes a job in a museum, in a city where it always snows. On her first day in the museum, Ophelia discovers a boy locked away in a long-forgotten room. He is a prisoner of Her Majesty the Snow Queen, and he has been waiting for Ophelia's help.

Critic Reviews

"A present-day fairy tale that practically sparkles with its own icy menace... [a] memorable and ultimately moving novel for young readers." ( Wall Street Journal)
