WHEN THE SNOW FALLS, THE LEGEND RISES. Oliver and his mom weren't looking for adventure when they moved into his grandmother's isolated mountain estate. They were looking for a fresh start. What they found was a house full of rules, a forest that feels unnaturally still, and a family legacy where Christmas is forbidden outright. No lights. No tree. No explanations. Curiosity pulls Oliver deeper into the house's locked corners and hidden histories. He discovers journals from a vanished Arctic expedition in 1881, a key with no matching lock, and a strange wooden sphere that hums as if it's alive. With every discovery, the truth sharpens: his family has been guarding something ancient, something tied to ice, memory, and survival itself. The woods surrounding the estate are not empty. Something moves between the trees. Something watches. As the past begins to bleed into the present, Oliver realizes the danger isn't just what his family has hidden, but why they were so desperate to keep it buried. What unfolds is a chilling mystery linking a lost naval officer, a forgotten expedition, and a boy determined to understand who he is and where he comes from. Each clue tightens the thread between history and myth, pulling Oliver closer to a revelation that should not exist at all. Flury: Journey of a Snowman reimagines a familiar winter symbol as an ancient force born of ice and intent, a being shaped not by cheer or tradition, but by endurance. This is a story where snow preserves secrets, legends evolve, and survival comes at a cost. Because sometimes what's buried beneath the snow isn't a gift. It's a warning. Perfect for readers who enjoy the eerie wonder of Coraline, the mythic atmosphere of The Bear and the Nightingale, the suspenseful chills of Goosebumps, and the quiet dread of The Girl Who Loved Tom Gordon.
