Publisher's Synopsis
"Nora stretched her arm right back and threw the stone as hard as she could towards the hole in the middle of the frozen lake. The stone spun through the air but just as it was about to land a hand pushed its way out of the water and caught it. The hand was followed by a long arm , then a head and a body. And legs. An old man, dressed in a long green robe rose from the lake. His feet floated a few inches over the ice. Then he bent down and blew on his hand towards the hole he had come from. The hole turned white and then was smooth with ice." Speed of Winter is about a young girl who becomes an apprentice to Jack Frost.
