When the Snow Fell

Más información sobre el libro

Joel is growing up. He is getting interested in girls. Just look at his New Year’s resolutions: 1 — to see a naked lady; 2 — to toughen himself up so that he can live to be a hundred; and 3 — to see the sea. They all look pretty impossible for a motherless boy in Northern Sweden. Especially as his sailor dad is keen to drown his sadness in drink, and all the local matrons are narrowly watching the pair of them.<br /><br />And then he saves old Simon from a frozen death in the woods, and Joel becomes a local hero.<br /><br />This is the third title in the popular series of children’s books from this master storyteller. The two previous ones are <b>A Bridge to the Stars</b> and <b>Shadows in the Twilight</b>.
