About this book
In a small town buried under winter snow, rumors swirl about a mysterious “snow ghost” that appears during blizzards.

Short chapters, fast pacing, and a tense mystery make this a strong pick for reluctant and middle-grade-plus readers. Fans of chilly settings and just-scary-enough suspense will be hooked.
