This modern fairy tale, third in the series, is a whimsical story of magic and charm. It describes the origin of the character, Jack Frost. He is known as Nightlight, sworn to protect the Man in the Moon and light his way. But when the Nightmare King attacks, Nightlight brings him down with a price of losing his thoughts and his name. He awakens many years later as Jackson Frost, “an icy boy . . . whose slightest breath or touch brought spirals of frost.” Cold and lonely, he flies aimlessly until he encounters children in need and remembers his earlier oath to guide and protect, and finds renewed purpose watching over the children of Earth. The illustrations are magical with an intensity that feeds curiosity.
