Why read it?

1 author picked After the Snow as one of their favorite books. Why do they recommend it?

After the Snow follows the adventures of a boy who finds his family is missing when returning home in the snow-bound hills. The settings and atmosphere in the book are beautifully worked, as is the voice, which I found to be bold, fluent, and captivating. The characters are strong and the plot bumps along at a good pace. Another must-read!

From B J's list on young adult crossover mystery.
