Rose was born into the world facing north, and as a north child, superstition says that she will be a wanderer, travelling far from home. This prophecy is fulfilled when she is taken on the back of a white bear to a mysterious empty castle, where a silent stranger appears to her night after night. When her curiosity overcomes her, she loses her heart, and must journey to a land east of the sun and west of the moon to reclaim it. "e;An enchanting retelling of a traditional fairytale, this beautifully written story completely swept me away"e; - Becky Stradwick, Borders UK Shortlisted - Ottakar's Children's Book Prize 2006
