Ophelia, whose mother has recently died, finds a strange boy locked away, who says he needs her help. He's been imprisoned by the Snow Queen, and has been for many, many years. She's supposed to find a sword for him, but it's a dangerous mission. The story is basically Ophelia looking for the sword, dealing with her mother's death, and being puzzled about her sister's strange behavior. This sounded exactly like my kind of book, but I couldn't connect with the characters, or get involved with a plot that seemed a little bit too much like a weird Narnia rip-off. And the ending... What? Was it supposed to be a twist? I was just left scratching my head.
