Bavar, a boy with a strange appearance, is the only line of defense against monsters from another world. He reluctantly accepts friendship from Angel; when it turns out she was orphaned by the creatures, they learn their stories are inextricably connected. With brief, alternating-perspective chapters and a brisk plot, the moody, Gothic ambiance of this "Beauty and the Beast"–inspired tale never has time to settle.

Twelve-year-old Owl discovers that the father she has never known is Jack Frost, and that she has inherited some of his magical power. But can Owl convince the winter spirit to be a parent to her? Wilson's appealing narrative blends Owl's exploration of her new abilities; power struggles in the Faerie court; and day-to-day concerns of family, friends, and middle school.
