Snow! Snow! And More Snow! - Part 2

We still have snow on the ground and they are calling for yet more snow tonight.  So I thought, I would continue to share some of my favorite snow stories -- this time for teens. . .

Sun and Moon, Ice and Snow by Jessica Day George
I love this retelling of East of the Sun, West of the Moon.  It takes place in the frozen north and features a girl simply named Lass who agrees to live with a bear for a year.  Eventually falling in love with the bear, Lass must travel "East of the Sun and West of the Moon" to save him from the Troll Queen.

Trapped by Michael Northrop
This book tells the story of what happens when Scotty and his friends are trapped in the school during a blizzard with several other students.  They foolishly decided to stay and work on a shop class project rather than go home when school was let out early.  Now they are trapped in the school with no heat, no food, and no water.  And then the roof starts to creak from the huge amount of snow on it and they must decide whether to stay or attempt to get help.
