WHEN THE SNOW FALLS, THE LEGEND RISES.

Oliver and his mom weren't looking for adventure. They just moved into Grandma's remote mountain estate. A house that radiates warmth like a tax audit. The woods are too still. The house has more rules than a casino. And Christmas? Banned. Flat out. No lights, no tree, not even a candy cane.

Then Oliver starts exploring. He finds journals from an Arctic expedition that went missing in 1881, a key with no lock, and a wooden sphere that hums like it has a pulse. That's when things go from strange to upside-down. The more Oliver uncovers, the clearer it becomes: this family has secrets. Big ones. Snow-covered, bone-deep secrets. And whatever they've been hiding isn't small, cuddly, or housebroken.

Something is out there. In the forest. Watching. Waiting.

What follows is a chilling mystery that ties a lost naval officer to a boy desperate to untangle his family's past. Each discovery tightens the knot, each step pulls him closer to the one impossible truth: the legend of a snowman.

Flury: Journey of a Snowman takes the holiday icon you thought you knew and drags it through myth, mystery, and ice-cold suspense. It's Frosty reimagined as an ancient force that doesn't care about carrot noses or magic hats. It cares about survival.

Because sometimes the thing buried in the snow isn't a gift. It's a warning.

Perfect for fans of R.L. Stine's Goosebumps, Neil Gaiman's Coraline, Katherine Arden's The Bear and the Nightingale, and Stephen King's The Girl Who Loved Tom Gordon.
