North Child
Rose is supposed to be an East Child - quiet, studious, hardworking and happy to stay at home. But she is out for adventure, always away, and her only East Attribute seems to be her love of weaving and sewing. One day, the truth about her birth is finally told - she is a North Child, adventurous, wild and different. Only, she never expected to find out because of a talking polar bear turning up at the door, offering to cure her mortally ill sister and reverse her family's bad fortunes if she were only to come with him - with him to a castle in the mountains, filled with magic and mystery...
I first read this book many years ago, and instantly became entranced by this amazing story of Norse magic, trolls, superstition, courage and romance.
10/10
