Underwhelming. The cover is the best part of the story. The illustrations are good at representing the eerie feeling of being surrended by snow, but the physics doesn't work, for example when Celeste slides down a hill and the snow moves up ahead of her. The way the big sister was talking about dragons was unpleasant to read (greedy, princess-eater...), and the end of the story was so abrupt I thought I missed a page or two. The only cute part of the story is when Celeste actually meets the snow dragon. I didn't see at first that there was a pinecone. It's not very clear if the snow dragon collected it or simply landed next to it.

2.5 rounded up. I'm not sure I would recommend it.

Thank you Netgalley and the publisher for offering me a free advance copy in exchange for an honest review.
