“Magic is “messy and dangerous and filled with longing,” we learn in this brave tale of grief, villainy and redemption that borrows from the story of the Snow Queen. Set in a vast, chilly museum, the tale brings together a valiant girl, a charmed boy, a magical sword and a clock ticking down to the end of the world.”—The Wall Street Journal
This is the story of unlikely heroine Ophelia Jane Worthington-Whittard who doesn't believe in anything that can't be proven by science. She and her sister Alice are still grieving for their dead mother when their father takes a job in a strange museum in a city where it always snows. On her very 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.
As Ophelia embarks on an incredible journey to rescue the boy everything that she believes will be tested. Along the way she learns more and more about the boy's own remarkable journey to reach her and save the world.
A story within a story, this a modern day fairytale about the power of friendship, courage and love, and never ever giving up.

This book has two different timelines. It starts off with a snow queen telling about her past, then it's the present and it has Ophelia, al sad, grumpy, mad, because of her family. What you have to understand is that this book has two different settings one all fantasyland and magical and one modern day time. The boy has failed his mission from the snow queen and was discovered by Ophelia in a unusual way. The boy is weak and not that powerful, but when he and Ophelia is destined to work together, will they make it their way they want it or not... DUN DUN DUNNNNNNNN...
A story within a story, this a modern day fairy tale is about the power of friendship, courage and love, and never ever giving up. It is a outstanding book.
