“Fairy tales usually send a prince; this one sends a girl into the snow. Gerda’s refusal to give up on a friend who has changed is well worth a bedtime chat.”
Kay ties his sled to a sleigh. Its driver? The Snow Queen.
The Snow Queen is an easy-to-read retelling of the fairy tale about a girl's brave quest to rescue her best friend.
Kay is Gerda's best friend, until splinters from a demon's shattered mirror get into him and he suddenly changes. Then the Snow Queen carries him off, and everyone believes he is gone for good. Everyone except Gerda, who sets out alone for the frozen north to bring him home.
Why children love it
- A dramatic "Smash!" as the demon's mirror breaks into a million tiny pieces.
- A wild sleigh ride through swirling snow, with Kay's sled tied behind.
- Icy blue pictures and speech bubbles, like Kay's startled thought: "The Snow Queen!"
Retold by Lesley Sims · Illustrated by Alan Marks · Young Reading series · English
Quick answers
Is it harder than Series One? A little. Series Two is for readers growing in confidence, and the publisher says it uses more demanding vocabulary.
Is it the same story as Frozen? No. Frozen was loosely inspired by it, but this retells Andersen's original tale of Gerda and Kay.
