Synopsis

It's the coldest night of the year and an eerie figure floats into a young girl's house. It is the Cold Water Witch and she's searching for someone to take her place as the ruler of a lonely, distant, frozen land. But the Cold Water Witch isn't prepared for the spunky child who awaits her. In the rewarding tradition of the classic fairy tale, this battle of wits between a young girl and a witch takes an unexpected turn, and readers discover that the magic of friendship is the greatest magic of all.

Excerpt

She came out on the coldest night.
Her fingers were icicles.
She had snow for her hair.
She was looking for a girl.

"Woooooooo!" she called.
"Little girl, wake up.
Come with me to where the waters run cold.
Come with me to where the world is covered in snow."

"It's the middle of the night. I'm not going anywhere!" the little girl said.

Review, Publishers Weekly, July 2, 2010:
"It's a crooked, tense tale, but a satisfying battle of wits."

Review, Kirkus Reviews, July 1, 2010:
"Initially reminiscent of Andersen’s frigid Snow Queen, this Cold Water Witch melts with kindness."

Review, Carolina Parent, October 26, 2010:
