Publisher's Summary
Rose is the youngest of seven children, meant to replace her dead sister. Maybe because of that, she’s never really fit in. She’s always felt different, out of place, a restless wanderer in a family of homebodies. So when an enormous white bear mysteriously shows up and asks her to come away with it—in exchange for health and prosperity for her ailing family—she readily agrees.
Rose travels on the bear’s broad back to a distant and empty castle, where she is nightly joined by a mysterious stranger. In discovering his identity, she loses her heart-and finds her purpose—and realizes her journey has just begun.
As familiar and moving as Beauty and the Beast, yet as fresh and original as only the best fantasy can be, East is a bold retelling of the classic tale “East of the Sun and West of the Moon,” a sweeping story of grand proportions.

"Frmom an East of the Sun, West of the Moon Fan"
If you could sum up East in three words, what would they be?A fun twist
Who was your favorite character and why?The Troll Queen - everybody loves a good villain and boy she was one. Her narrator was also fantastic.
What does the narrators bring to the story that you wouldn’t experience if you just read the book?About five characters narrate the story and each has its own voice actor. The cast was very good.
If you were to make a film of this book, what would be the tag line be?How far would you go to right a wrong? How far would you go, for love?
Any additional comments?I loved the "original" story of East of the Sun, West of the Moon when I was a little girl. Although the author kept the spirit and skeleton of the story, she gave the tale her own unique spin. I'm an adult and I rarely read books written for teenagers, but this one held my interest. The author did a great job giving each character their own voice and personality. It was enjoyable seeing the story from different points of view. I was a bit surprised by some of the choices the writer made, but it's fun to read a book that isn't predictable. I would recommend this title to fans of the original and to people who love stories with a fairy tale feel.
