Ophelia and the Marvelous Boy is a beautiful mix of fantasy and fairy tale. The story's main characters are a young boy, Ophelia, and best of all, the Snow Queen. Be warned, this queen is one of the scariest evil characters you will ever encounter! I was terrified whenever this character was about to appear, which made reading the book that much more fun.
The story begins when the King is told to lock up his "Marvelous Boy," by his new bride, who has just become Queen. The boy never ages and remains eternally young, and the Queen wants him taken away. The boy is locked up and trapped in a hidden room in a museum for years. Ophelia, her sister, and father move in for her father's new job as museum curator. As the inquisitive Ophelia explores the museum she finds the boy and is given the task to free him, as only he can save the world from the evil the Queen has in store for the world. Read on to discover if the smart, feisty Ophelia can find the magic sword, free the Marvelous Boy, and defeat the Snow Queen. Can Ophelia and the Marvelous Boy save the world?
Beautiful illustrations run throughout. If you love fantasy, this book is for you!
