As Asterel searches for a token that will save the world from freezing, she races against time and the evil Mr. Underton. The fairly complex good-versus-evil plot works well, and the black-and-white line drawings are expressive--though somewhat crude by today's standards. This edition of the graphic novel by two ALA medalists includes a new introduction by the author.
