East

by Edith Pattou

Rose has always been set apart from the rest. Suspicious circumstances of her birth were kept a secret. Rose knows that she is different, so when a mysterious white bear appears at the door of her home in Norway, she instantly agrees to go with him on the journey of a lifetime. She travels on his back to a mysterious castle carved into a mountain, where secrets and betrayal leave Rose embarking on yet another journey. She follows her white bear to Nifelheim (frozen land of the dead). I cannot tell you any more, because that would ruin the ending. All i have to say is that this is the most wonderful book that I have ever read, and you are really missing out if you haven't read it.

Heya, Koffee/Annika!  Sorry it took my so long to reply to this post!  To those who are wondering what I'm talking about, I met Koffee on the CRR (Cricket Readers Recommend) and she told me about this review! 

East is a wonderful book. Rose is such an ideal heroine, and the whole concept of a birth direction had me fascinated for a while.  

By the way, I think its amazing how many people are on here from the Chatterbox! To tell the truth, this is only the second time I've been on here since the 'box opened, and I used to come on here a lot! (I was surprised to find reviews by me from August!)

Hey, Willa! Wow, I haven't been here in ages! I guess now you know what my real name is, but try not to project it to the rest of the people at Chatterbox. I mean, I trust them and all, but you  know, creepy creepers and all... wow, I said  a lot in that sentence! To all the rest of you on here, you should come to the Chatterbox!
