Ophelia and the Marvelous Boy

Timid girl's courageous, otherworldly museum adventure.

If you've ever felt out of place or too shy to step into the unknown, "Ophelia and the Marvelous Boy" is a call to adventure that resonates. Ophelia's journey through a mystical museum will take you from the depths of grief to the heights of bravery, all while wrapping you in a blanket of enchanting storytelling. It's a tale that proves even the quietest hearts can roar when it comes to fighting for what's right.

Description

A modern-day fairy tale set in a mysterious museum that is perfect for readers of Roald Dahl and Blue Balliett. Unlikely heroine Ophelia Jane Worthington-Whittard doesn't believe in anything that can't be proven by science. She and her sister Alice are still grieving for their dead mother when their father takes a job in a strange museum in a city where it always snows. On her very first day in the museum, Ophelia discovers a boy locked away in a long-forgotten room. He is a prisoner of Her Majesty the Snow Queen, and he has been waiting for Ophelia's help. As Ophelia embarks on an incredible journey to rescue the boy, everything that she believes will be tested. Along the way, she learns more and more about the boy's own remarkable journey to reach her and save the world. A story within a story, this modern-day fairy tale is about the power of friendship, courage, and love, and never ever giving up.
