I received this book for free in exchange for an honest review. I wanted to love this book. I was excited to read it but in the end just barely liked it. There were parts of the book that were exciting and I couldn't wait to read more. But most of the book dragged for me and by the end I just w...

Wow, this book was super interesting and unique. It had all the elements of a regular high school type book (new town, upcoming dance, "mean" girls) but it turned out like 100% unique. The beginning of each chapter has a little snippet of foreshadowing...almost like the story was told in present ten...

I was pre-approved for this title by the publisher via NetGalley. Thank you for the opportunity to read this book!Though I didn't read this book from the perspective of someone who has read the original fairy tale, there is so much to love about it. If I had been able to read Ophelia and the Marvelo...

I really was not ready for this one to end. The story was unique and interesting and I loved Ophelia and the Boy - I hope there isn't a sequel, as I want to imagine their next chapters myself. I will be recommending tomany students. Grades 3?/4+ Read June 2014

It's not as if I could possibly ignore it if I tried--the cover is simply beyond charming, which was more than likely the reason why I clicked on the Netgalley email months ago, without realizing that the ARC would expire within hours. But I have finally gotten my hands upon the book courtesy of the...

This was such a wonderfully dark, Lemony Snicket-esque retelling of the traditional Snow Queen faerie tale. I know this is a children's book, but the descriptions and the characters, particularly the queen's minions, were so frightening and well-described it was easy to forget this fact when reading...

I won an ARC in a raffle online, but I only just now got the chance to read it. It was a cute read, but maybe not as good as I hoped. I still hope I can get it for the library collection because I think my students would like it.

My Review as an Adult: The book is delightful with fanciful creatures, two children looking for friendship, and a positive message about kindness, friendship, patience, and perseverance. My guest reviewer's (a ten year old) perspective: I would rate this book five stars, which means I really love...

Wow. I did not expect to like this book as much as I did. It’s charming, it’s magical, and it’s fun. The prologue started with a bit of highbrow fantasy, but that aside, the book has everything you’d expect and want in a children’s fantasy book.Much like its Narnia predecessor, the protagonist (Ophe...

This may end up being a classroom read-aloud. Delightful!
