They were fresh tracks, I saw, the edges of the impressions in the snow quite hard. Small feet.Like mine. Someone my age. Then they stopped.When mysterious footprints appear in the Stockholm snow, ten-year-old Kara must discover where they've come from - and who they belong to.

Through her eyes, we rediscover the magic that lies in the world around us, if only we have the courage to look for it. Kara is a heroine for modern times: fragile but fierce, in this utterly compelling stor
