Sarah Prineas enjoys a sterling reputation built on the strength of her carefully constructed fantasy novels for young adults. Winterling is the story of Fer, a remarkable girl who has always felt the forest calling to her, beckoning her away from her humdrum existence. And then one day she saves a creature who looks like a boy, but is something else entirely. When the creature invites her to pass through the Way, she finds herself in a strange, dangerous land where magic holds sway and endless winter threatens all.

      Fer, short for Jennifer, is unaware of her magical heritage and feels completely out of place when she enters a new realm upon inadvertently opening the Way between worlds. Erin Moon uses an even tone to portray Fer as a practical, normal girl, but all of the magical creatures have unique voices that match their natures in the other world. The Lady, an evil ruler, has a harsh, icy voice that sounds malevolent even when she makes the most mundane comments. Rook, a fairy who can shift into different animals, has a deep, gruff voice, much like the growl of the dog he often changes into. The wolf guards who pursue Fer on the orders of the Lady have mocking, slightly caustic tones. Moon's narration provides a bright spot in Prineas's sometimes inconsistent tale. E.N.

      Gr 5-7-It's almost spring, and all Fer wants is to be outside. However, all her grandmother wants is for her to be anywhere but outside. Fer doesn't know why until she runs away and accidentally opens a Way in the woods, through which comes a small boy (but he's really something else) and three very scary looking wolves. Little does Fer know that her life has just changed forever, as her adventures take her into a world of perpetual winter, where something is obviously very wrong. C.S. Lewis meets Lewis Carroll in Sarah Prineas's new take (HarperCollins, 2012) on old magic and alternate worlds, with enough originality to be interesting for fans of both. While the ending is somewhat predictable, the author doesn't take the most expected route to get there, and there are some surprises along the way. Erin Moon provides the narration, giving each character an appropriate and distinct voice.-"Michaela B. Schied, Indian River Middle School, Philadelphia, NY"
