The Miraculous Sweetmakers: The Frost Fair by Natasha Hastings. 

Illustrated by Alex T. Smith
Published by HarperCollins Children’s Books in 2022.

A magical story aimed at readers aged 9 to 12.

It’s an age-appropriate but haunting tale of love, loss, friendship and grief. It’s multi-layered, with some quite adult themes such as death, depression and mental illness, but it’s executed very well. The balance makes it an interesting read as well as being fun and entertaining.

About the Book:

“It’s a cold winter during the Great Frost of 1683. Thomasina and Anne are the best of friends, one running her father’s sweet shop and the other the apprentice at the family apothecary – together they sell their goods on the frozen River Thames. When a family tragedy turns Thomasina’s world upside down, she is drawn to a mysterious conjuror and the enchanted frost fair.

But soon the world of Father Winter threatens to claim everything she holds dear. Will they be able to solve the magical mysteries that surround them . . . ?
