A Winter's Tale
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 18 years ago
The second in the Ingamald series, A Winter's Tale is a great read with a fast-paced imaginative plot. The heroine is strong and quick-minded and uses a variety of disguises and wiles to outwit the villainous Morton Winter. Her troupe of friends are lively and resourceful. Sobat's dialogue is sharp and arresting, and her narrative descriptions are frequently poetic and dazzling. This book is nominated for the White Pine Award, a major YA writers' award in Canada. This is a writer to watch!
