Anna wants to be more helpful to Elsa as Elsa
runs the kingdom, but feels like Elsa doesn’t need her help. When a blight starts to destroy the livestock
and harvest of their kingdom, Anna thinks she can find help. Anna finds a magical room with spells in it,
and accidentally unleashes Anna’s worst nightmare, instead of finding a
solution. Anna’s nightmare is in the
form of a wolf and it will take Anna and all her friends to find a way to stop
the wolf from destroying Arendelle and hopefully heal the livestock and harvest.
I love Frozen and was intrigued by the idea
of an original story in this setting with good characters. The story line is well done and there is a
lot of action, but I wished there had been more of my favorite characters like Kristoff and Olaf. My biggest debate
with this book is the audience because I think elementary kids would be drawn to
the characters, but the length and story line is better suited for middle school
grades. However, would middle school
kids be willing to read a novel based on Frozen? The content is PG because the wolf is creepy and aggressive. I love the cover.
