Summary

Rose was born into the world facing north, and as a north child, superstition says that she will be a wanderer, travelling far from home. This prophecy is fulfilled when she is taken on the back of a white bear to a mysterious empty castle, where a silent stranger appears to her night after night. When her curiosity overcomes her, she loses her heart, and must journey to a land east of the sun and west of the moon to reclaim it."Told through the voices of its main characters, North Child is compelling storytelling. Usborne has unearthed another gem." - Newham Bookshop"A great example of traditional storytelling, this is a magical tale beautifully told." - Publishing News "This is an epic that fans of Philip Pullman's Dark Materials trilogy will thoroughly enjoy. Full of magic, of high drama, of superstitions and of compelling characters, readers will be held spellbound by Edith Patou's lyrical writing." - Lovereading4kids
