For 2025 I wanted to give my Fairy Tale Retellings board on Pinterest some extra love. And nothing is better than a book recommended by another reader with similar preferences so each month I've been asking the Champions on social media to help me update a different section with more books. Here's the book list they gave me for Snow Queen!
Did you know the Disney Frozen movie is based on the Snow Queen fairy tale? There is not a lot of the original story remaining in the animated movie but if you love the idea of a main character with ice powers then this book list is definitely going to have your next favorite read!

(I asked for no spice and mild language recommendations but as always you should check the reviews if you have content concerns.)
