"Having barely survived an eleventh grade of adventures rivaling any mythological tale, Katla Leblanc is hoping for an ordinary senior year. But when two Icelandic exchange students turn up at Norse Falls High—Marik, a merman-in-disguise, and Jinky, a rune-reading shaman-in-training—an uneventful school year seems out of the question. Not only has Katla enraged the Snow Queen by rescuing her boyfriend, Jack, she was tricked into promising her frail newborn sister, Leira, to the Water Queen. Marik, it seems, has come to collect, silencing Katla with a threat against would-be aides, para-abled Jack in particular.Meanwhile, Katla’s Stork dreams—her guide for matching babies with their birth mothers—have become strange and menacing, and her best friend, Penny, is keeping a few secrets of her own, including her crush on a certain too-alluring merman.
Can Katla single-handedly break a celestial pact to save Leira—and perhaps the world? Or is she really as alone in all this as she thinks?Hold on for a riveting conclusion as the champion of Stork and Frost calls on her wits, her wit, her powers, and a few out-of-this-world colleagues to fend off a disaster of epic proportions."
"After the drama of discovering that she’s a member of the Storks, an ancient order of women endowed with mystical abilities, Katla Leblanc is finally settling in to life in chilly Minnesota. The ex–California girl even hopes for a white Christmas. So when the snow starts to fall on a romantic sleigh ride with her boyfriend, Jack, it seems like the perfect present. However, before she knows it, Katla’s wintry wish spirals out of control, turning into the snowstorm of the century.The unusual weather draws unexpected attention. Environmental scientist Brigid Fonnkona is runway gorgeous, utterly charming, and far too interested in Jack for Katla’s comfort—especially after Jack is singled out to help with Brigid’s research. Between Stork duties, rehearsals for the school production of The Snow Queen, and checking off items on her bedridden, pregnant mother’s to-do lists, Katla has zero time to investigate, even as she notices Jack’s long hours in the lab and the growing tension between the two of them. Then Brigid selects Jack to accompany her on a research expedition to Greenland, and Jack’s cold good-bye leaves Katla wondering where they stand, but when Jack goes missing above the Arctic Circle, Katla knows she’s the only one who can find him."
"Oh baby! A hip heroine discovers that she has the ability to decide who gets pregnant in this witty YA blend of romance and the supernatural from a debut author.
Sixteen-year-old Katla has just moved from Los Angeles to the sticks of Minnesota. As if it weren't enough that her trendy fashion sense draws stares, she learns to her horror that she's a member of an ancient order of women who decide to whom certain babies will be born. Add to that Wade, the arrogant football star whom Katla regrettably fooled around with, and Jack, a gorgeous farm boy who initially seems to hate her. Soon Katla is having freaky dreams about a crying infant and learns that, as children, she and Jack shared a near-fatal, possibly mystical experience. Can Katla survive this major life makeover and find a dress for the homecoming dance? Drawing from Norse mythology and inspired by The Snow Queen by Hans Christian Andersen, debut author Wendy Delsol conceives an irreverent, highly entertaining novel about embracing change and the (baby) bumps along the way."
