In London, in a winter which shows no sign of ending, a unique friendship begins.

This is the story of Blessing, aged ten-and-a-half, and Albert Framlington, aged six hundred – an eccentric snowman who has seen many winters in many cities, and who is duty-bound by the Snowman Code to help any child in need. Together, Blessing and Albert must find a way to defeat Blessing’s bullies, win back Albert’s long-lost love Clementine, and even overcome the never-ending winter itself…

“This story offers the book equivalent of a big, warm, comforting hug."

The Children's Book Review

“Sparklingly humorous and poignant, it’s a perfect seasonal story.”

The Guardian

“A whimsical, enchanting adventure grounded in friendship and resilience.”

Kirkus Reviews
