(3) YA This beautifully rendered retelling of a Norse fairy tale involves enchanted polar bears, a woodcutter's daughter who can talk to animals, and evil trolls. George's lyrical writing deftly handles exotic settings and poignant family relationships, resulting in a story of bittersweet sacrifice that's offset by flashes of humor. The protagonist is strong and courageous but humanly flawed. Bib., glos.
