Northstars: Welcome to Snowville!

A graphic novel about Santa's daughter and the Yeti princess becoming a butt-kicking duo, complete with dragons and Krampus and other mythical creatures? Yes, please! This book is super adorable and has a really charming, whimsical holiday feel to it that definitely made me a little more excited for cold weather and Christmas trees!

That said, there was one major issue I had with this graphic novel: the endless bickering between the two girls. At first, it looked like they might be quick pals (or more - I'm so dying to see more LGBTQ+ rep in middle grade books!), but Holly (Santa's daughter) spent the majority of the book belittling and making fun of Frostina (the Yeti princess) for being furry and large. I kept thinking, “Really? The subplot is... Santa's daughter bullying another girl for being furry?” I sincerely hope the author will rethink the girls' relationship before continuing the series.

Thank you to NetGalley and Action Lab Entertainment for this ARC in exchange for an honest review!
