OLDER FICTION
Legrand, Claire

Winterspell

(3) YA When her father, mayor of NYC in 1889, is kidnapped, Clara follows into a violent parallel world. Handsome deposed prince Nicholas--freed from imprisonment inside a statue--accompanies her. Clara's level head, self-defense training (by her godfather Drosselmeyer), and latent magical abilities serve her well, especially in interactions with beguiling-but-insane new queen Anise. This Nutcracker-inspired fantasy tells a gritty tale all its own.
