The Secret Snow

River Stone

Bodin & Grandfather find mystical "Seekers" glen. Awakening the magic “secret snowflakes”, they humorously bring snow to BraeValley and teach Bodin about overcoming life's obstacles.


Seeking but never finding, always wanting but never having, Bodin Sparks is a 9-year-old boy trying to make it snow in his small hometown. Seeking out his beloved grandpa to help him solve the problem the two stumble upon a mystical glen and awaken an wondrous magic from an ancient peoples who once traveled the earth in search of knowledge. The ancient magic is based upon the multitude of snowflake geometries as its alphabet, and is discovered by Bodie in the form of an unfinished and "unsent" snow-spell cast by one of the now extinct “Seekers”. After overcoming several hilarious and antic filled snow-magic technical difficulties,Bodie uses this Secret Snow to make snowfall in BraeValley - bringing white, frosty fun and other happy consequences to his friends and the townsfolk. Some seasonal, some a touch more permanent!

But was it truly the magic that brought the snow, or his will to believe in the impossible and overcome doubt with steadfast faith? And why does Bodin's snowman carry a canning jar?

Written for all ages that enjoy adventure/fantasy stories. Dedicated to grandparents of the early 20th century and the legacy they left to their grandchildren by way of the bedtime story.

Hi Dee read Ch 1-6 I really like this tale very much. It has a very creative and unique core magic story with the tower, the unicorn, and the mysterious clock. The magic rhymes are very well done and I am sure Beth eventually works out how to activate the unicorn and travel. This story also has ... view book
