Book Description
A heart-warming gem of a story, this novel tells the tale of Laura, a very special girl who suddenly finds herself all alone in the world. Only 12 years old when her mom dies, she is shipped off to stay with relatives she hardly knows. Her new family doesn't seem to care about anything Laurel loves, including books and Mr. Pooter, her old marmalade-colored cat. So Laurel decides that she won't feel anything—instead, she becomes Ice Lolly, the girl with the frozen heart. Despite her new coldness, a special friend and a mysterious letter arrive, opening up new possibilities for Ice Lolly and Mr. Pooter.
