The Lost Frost Girl by Amy Wilson - ADVISABLE

Wilson, Amy The Lost Frost Girl, 307 pages.  Katherine Tegen (Harper), 2017.  9780062671486.  $ 17.  Katherine Tegen (Harper), 2017.  Content: G (some danger).

Owl has never met her dad, but her mom refuses to tell her anything about him except some odd fairy tales.  When Mom finally give in and tells her his name – Jack Frost – Amy can’t believe it, but she sets in motion circumstances that makes the truth of this undeniable.  Now Amy is caught in the middle of a war between the different rulers of the seasons.  She may lose her own identity or her freedom before the battle is over.  And she will definitely be betrayed by someone she trusts.

For students who like Shelby Bach’s Ever Afters series, this is an easy companion fit.  Amy’s angst at becoming a teen is well reflected in the defiance and curiosity that she displays about her unknown father and in the powers that she manifests but can’t control.
