East
by Edith PattouRose was always different. Unlike her family, she longs to have adventures in far off lands. And one day, after discovering that her parents lied to her for her whole life, a huge white bear comes to her door and offers riches and health in exchange for her coming to live with him for one year. Rose goes with him, only to lose him--possibly forever.

Ugh. Were my all-caps-writing days really only a year ago?
Sorry, not relevant. I love East, just not the way I wrote that comment.

Yes! Finally a mention of East! I love this book!!!!!!! I convinced my mom, grandma, and aunt to read it as well, and they love it. You might say I'm an East of the Sun and West of the Moon fanatic, partly because I'm writing my own version of the fairytale. I've got over 120 pages written now.
If you liked East, you might like Sun and Moon, Ice and Snow, by Jessica Day George. It's not as good as East, but I still like it.
