|summary=A beautiful retelling of East of the Sun, west of the Moon that plunges us headlong into the world of Norwegian folklore and magic. North Child is simply fantastic, and a wonderful book to both thrill and comfort… Brilliant for cold wintry nights or long lazy days. (Please note: published as 'East' in the United States.)

Superstition says that children born facing north will travel far from home and Rose's mother is terrified that Rose, a north child, will face a lonely, icy death if she follows her destiny.
(North Child is published as 'East' in the United States.)
For further folktales and magic that will take you to a place far away, yet closer than you think, I suggest [[The Ingo Chronicles:Stormswept by Helen Dunmore]], [[I, Coriander by Sally Gardner]] and [[The Book of a Thousand Days by Shannon Hale]]. {{amazontext|amazon=0746068379}}{{amazonUStext|amazon=0746068379}} {{commenthead}}
