Even though my brother and I had decided to stay away from the magic mirror, our puppy had other plans -- he bounded right in. What choice did we have but to go in after him?When we land in a winter wonderland, we realize we must be in the story of The Snow Queen. And this fairy tale is nothing like the movie. This Snow Queen is super-mean, and she turns our dog into an ice sculpture!To get home we'll have to: - Defrost our furry friend- Ride a very chatty reindeer- Learn to ice-skate- Escape from a band of robbersAnd if we're not careful . . . we could end up frozen ourselves!
