About the Author

Reviews

Well-paced narration will keep readers interested - a superior paranormal adventure.
—Kirkus Reviews

Readers discover that, somehow, Kat can make the most frightening danger seem, well...fun. This light tone makes the novel a favorable choice for girls who prefer Meg Cabot to Stephanie Meyer.
—VOYA

The underlying themes of culture and heritage affecting the present and the motivating and empowering nature of love, even in impossible situations, complement the quick-moving plot and beautifully drawn settings of Minnesota, Greenland, and Iceland. Frost sustains the momentum of the first book and effectively sets the stage for the final installment in the trilogy.
—School Library Journal

A delightful romp.
—Booklist Online

In her sequel to Stork, Wendy Delsol has once again beautifully woven modern day life with ancient legends and fantastic fairy tales, creating a story of adventure, romance, and undeniable readability. . . . Frost proves to be not only a worthy addition to the series but may even surpass its predecessor. No sophomore slump here.
—New York Journal of Books

A vibrant sequel with an infusion of Snow Queen myth.
—San Francisco Book Review

Wendy Delsol has the gift of storytelling. The Stork Trilogy drew me in with its highly original plot, humor, and sizzling romance. But what kept me reading was how much Wendy made me care about (and worry for) her characters! I found myself turning pages late into the night, desperate to make sure everything was going to be all right for Katla and her friends.

Gr 8 Up-Wendy Delsol's sequel (2011) to Stork (2010, both Candlewick) finds high school junior Katla LeBlanc dancing in the school play ("The Snow Queen"), immersed in the high school newspaper, enthralled with her boyfriend Jack (a descendent of Jack Frost who can affect changes in the weather), and juggling her duties as a "Soul Deliverer" while working at her grandfather's store. When Brigid, a beautiful and mysterious environmental scientist, comes to Minnesota to research climate change, she charms everyone except Kat, who is dismayed to find Jack spending most of his time with her. Things go from bad to worse during Jack's research trip to Greenland when Brigid kidnaps him and forces him to manipulate the weather. Kat goes after him in a thrilling, suspense-filled adventure. Kat is a strong, likeable teenager-her fashion sense and pop references supply comic relief. Norse folklore is woven within the story, giving it the feel of a contemporary fairy tale. Although back-story is included, a familiarity with the previous title will help listeners understand the paranormal powers of the Storks. Julia Whelan portrays Kat's teenage angst perfectly and handles the other voices competently. This retelling of The Snow Queen is a must-have where the first title is popular. Listeners will eagerly await the final book in the trilogy.-Julie Paladino, East Chapel Hill High School, NC (c) Copyright 2012. Library Journals LLC, a wholly owned subsidiary of Media Source, Inc.
