Winterbringers

By Gill Arbuthnott



 "Queen of Summer! Queen of Summer! Hear our plea. Far from the Kingdom of Summer we call to you. Summer has bled from these lands; has fled from these lands. The Winterbringers are abroad, and all the land will soon be locked in ice. Hear our plea, Queen of Summer. Send the summer in. Send the summer in. Send the summer in."

 It was summer so Josh definitely wasn't expecting the sea to start to freeze and ice to start creeping up the beach, he wasn't expecting anything but a summer holiday in Pitmillie with his mother. But once he meets a local girl, Callie, and her enormous dog Luath strange things start happening. They find a journal of an eighteenth century girl named Agnes who writes about a Kingdom of Summer. Josh and Callie, with the help of the Winter King, need to find the Kingdom and restore to the Queen of Summer what was stolen. But the Winter bringers are abroad and determined to stop them. Can they prevent the Queen from dying, or will a permanent winter overcome the world?
