Review
This is the fourth entry in the Frozen series of early chapter books that explore further adventures with Anna & Elsa. Frozen fans are bound to love it, although it certainly isn't great literature. The story centers around the classic man vs. machine, old-fashioned physical labor versus new technology. The hilarious character of Oaken from Frozen has invented an ice cutting machine powered by a mouse to challenge Kristoff and the other ice harvesters. What ensues is a bit of mystery due to misinformation but is solved with a bit of magic and sisterly cooperation. It will be a popular choice at libraries with Frozen fans and is geared towards 2nd - 4th grade readers, but would be a great read aloud for younger kids.
