East

A teen girl’s sacrifice for her family draws her into a world of magic, adventure, and romance in this epic fantasy by a New York Times–bestselling author.

“Weaves the essentials of the children’s fairy tale “East o’ the Sun and West o’ the Moon” into a rich tapestry that will resonate with readers of books such as Robin McKinley’s renderings of Beauty and the Beast. . . . What ensues is the stuff of epic tale telling, replete with high drama and compelling characterizations.” —Booklist

Rose has always longed for adventure, so when an enormous white bear appears one evening and makes her a mysterious offer, she accepts. In exchange for health and prosperity for her ailing family, she agrees to live with the white bear in a distant castle. But Rose soon realizes all isn’t as it seems. As she tries to settle into her new life, she makes a devastating mistake. Now she must make a choice: return to her safe and loving family or go on a dangerous quest to fix what she has broken—and perhaps lose her heart along the way. A sweeping romantic epic as timeless as any fairy tale and as thrilling as only the best fantasy novels can be.

“Brilliant . . . a perfect story to be read aloud. . . . This top-notch fantasy will be enjoyed by all, especially fans of C. S. Lewis, Tamora Pierce, and Christopher Paolini.” —School Library Journal
