Description
Tess has a secret power—and it just might save the world from disaster
Thirteen-year-old Tess is a Switcher, able to change into any animal at will. No one knows her secret, or so she thinks. But one day a strange, scruffy boy follows her home from her Dublin bus stop. The boy’s name is Kevin, and he’s a Switcher too. Kevin convinces Tess that their powers are needed for something important: stopping the snowstorms rapidly advancing from the Arctic. Tess and Kevin will have to stretch their abilities to the very limit to try and save the world from frozen destruction.

Advance Praise
“A terrific read . . . Imaginative, thoughtful fun.” —School Library Journal
“Thompson interweaves elements from mythology and science fiction with insights into animal nature to create a coming-of-age fantasy that, like Peter Pan, ends with an open window and, for many readers, a lump in the throat.” —Publishers Weekly
