We will be reading Ophelia and the Marvelous Boy by Karen Foxlee this month.

This is the story of unlikely heroine Ophelia Jane Worthington-Whittard, who 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. A story within a story, this is a modern-day fairytale about the power of friendship, courage, and love, and never, ever giving up.
