Grades 2-4 In this second entry in Jim Henson's Enchanted Sisters series, Winter, one of the daughters of Mother Nature, and her best friend, a polar bear named Flurry, are having a great time building the best snow fort ever. But Winter's discovery of a baby arctic fox so unnerves Flurry that he runs away, right into the castle of the Weeds, a family of magical brothers who create natural disasters and bad weather. Winter summons her sisters Spring, Summer, and Autumn to help her rescue Flurry, but he is jealous of the baby fox and doesn't want to leave. Remorseful about the way she has unwittingly hurt her best friend, Winter makes her way back to her Sparkledom, encountering dangerous creatures and magical mischief that threatens to destroy both the Sparkle sisters and the Weeds. Allen and Stanford's sweet and heartfelt adventure story, punctuated with funny cartoon illustrations, will satisfy newly independent readers with an interest in magic.(Reprinted with permission of Booklist, copyright 2014, American Library Association.)
