A Fantasy Classic (Never Mind the Age Level)
Though I haven't been able to find a copy for years, 'The Face in the Frost' stays in my mind as one of the best fantasy novels I've ever read--up there with much of Vance and Zelazny. It's also, perhaps surprisingly, downright spooky in places. And funny as well. (The first sentence, more or less, is: 'Once upon a time there was a wizard named Prospero, and not the one you are thinking of, either.') If the mark of a great 'young adult' book is that it doesn't talk down & can be enjoyed by 50-year-olds as well as 15-year-olds, then this certainly qualifies.

fun read not too deep but enjoyable
I had read this book in Jr High and enjoyed it. It was my favorite magic based fantasy book for a while.

I lost my paper copy and having recently purchased a Nook I looked it up and found a ebook copy.
I enjoyed the book as much as I did before and am glad that I purchased a copy for my nook. -
Fantastic read for any age.
This is an all time fantasy great. The kind of book fantasy giants quote as an influence on thier own writing. Written gor young readrrs it is, great adult rrading too. By all means buy it and add it yo your cherished titles list.
