Why read it?
1 author picked A Girl Called Owl as one of their favorite books. Why do they recommend it?
This story sparkles with intrigue and winter magic—it has all the delight of the first fat flakes of snow falling on a December morning. I love that the story feels so utterly grounded in the real world, before the magic begins to creep in. What would you do if frost patterns appeared on your skin? Try to ignore it, or follow the call of adventure? A frosty tale with a huge warm heart—highly recommended.
From Tamsin's list on middle grade with wonderful weather magic.
