West edith pattou5/21/2023 ![]() ![]() In the end, she had to defeat the Troll Queen in order to save him. But I remembered the basics, from the fairy tale “East of the Sun, West of the Moon.” Rose went off with a white bear to save her family, but used a candle to try to see his face and then had to travel east of the sun, west of the moon. Since this is my Newbery committee year, I didn’t get to reread East before reading West as I would have liked to do. The Goose Girl has become the start of an entire series since then, but this is the very first follow-up to East. I ordered my own personal copy of both of them, I liked them both so much. ![]() I was so excited when I found out West was coming out! I still remember, approximately 15 years ago when I was working at Sembach Library and a shipment of new books came in that included East, by Edith Pattou and The Goose Girl, by Shannon Hale – two fairy tale retellings that ended up being my two favorite books of the year. ![]() Review written October 13, 2018, from a book sent by the publisher. ![]()
