Childless, they are drifting apart -- he breaking under the weight of the work of the farm; she crumbling from loneliness and despair. In a moment of levity during the season's first snowfall, they build a child out of snow. The next morning the snow child is gone -- but they glimpse a young, blonde-haired girl running through the trees. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e This little girl, who calls herself Faina, seems to be a child of the woods. She hunts with a red fox at her side, skims lightly across the snow, and somehow survives alone in the Alaskan wilderness. As Jack and Mabel struggle to understand this child who could have stepped from the pages of a fairy tale, they come to love her as their own daughter. But in this beautiful, violent place things are rarely as they appear, and what they eventually learn about Faina will transform all of them.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Reagan Arthur Books\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 02\/01\/2012\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780316175678\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 400\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.10lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.30h x 5.80w x 1.30d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAward:\u003c\/b\u003e Discover Great New Writers - Finalist\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAward:\u003c\/b\u003e Flaherty-Dunnan First Novel Prize - Finalist\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAward:\u003c\/b\u003e Indies Choice Book Awards - Winner\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAward:\u003c\/b\u003e Pulitzer Prize - Finalist\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAward:\u003c\/b\u003e Pacific Northwest Booksellers Association Award - Winner\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eReview Citations: \u003c\/strong\u003e\u003ci\u003eLibrary Journal\u003c\/i\u003e 09\/15\/2011 pg. 50\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eLibrary Journal\u003c\/i\u003e 12\/01\/2011 pg. 114\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eKirkus Reviews\u003c\/i\u003e 12\/15\/2011\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eShelf Awareness\u003c\/i\u003e 02\/03\/2012\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eLJ Best Books of Year\u003c\/i\u003e 12\/01\/2012 pg. 25\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAccelerated Reader Quiz #\/Name: \u003c\/b\u003e188676 \/ Snow Child\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eReading Level:\u003c\/b\u003e 5.2 \/ \u003cb\u003eInterest Level:\u003c\/b\u003e Upper Grade \/ \u003cb\u003ePoint Value:\u003c\/b\u003e 15\u003cbr\u003e","brand":"Eowyn Ivey","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":52403349127349,"sku":"9780316175678","price":34.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0473\/0804\/6492\/files\/img_33cd6402-4ac5-4f40-91f1-d30d36043fd6.jpg?v=1774968880","url":"https:\/\/pastforward.org\/products\/the-snow-child-9780316175678","provider":"Past Forward","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
