The polar bear was kind and strong. Asta was the youngest and the bravest. Chapter 5 with the Troll Queen was a bit scary! I liked the ending.

A poor family lived in a poor house. Winter was coming and their house wasn't warm. A bear said if you give me your daughter I'll give you money. The bear was a prince. Astrid had to rescue him and she did.

I like how the prince is a man by night and a polar bear by day. I would travel like the girl called Asta in the story.
