East

East is by Edith Pattou. A magnificent fairy tale based on East of the Sun, West of the Moon. Rose has always dreamed of a white bear, so when a huge white bear comes to take her away she readily agrees. The white bear takes her to a distant empty castle where she weaves and is visited nightly by a mysterious visitor. When she learns the identity of the visitor she loses her heart and finds her destiny. She travels to the top of the world to rescue her white bear from the beautiful Troll Queen. A wonderful tale told through a variety of voices.

Ratings: 7th grade - 9 out of 10.
