WHEN THE BLUE DOOR OPENS, WINTER WILL COME TO FELS.
11-year old Jo has finally managed to make a friend at her new school: Rani, the girl who runs like the wind. Together, Jo and Rani are planning the perfect winter break: cookie baking, caroling, and ice skating at the local pond.
But when the Fels Christmas market is vandalized and strange symbols are found on the stalls, Jo starts to worry that the chilling prophecy made by the monster who kidnapped her brother in the fall might be coming true after all, threatening the safety of all of Fels:
“The price for peace in blood is paid, pay it now or pay it soon, only higher if you wait…”
To protect her family, Rani, and her no-longer-quite-so-boring hometown of Fels, Germany, Jo turns to the Strawberry Circle, the secret order monitoring supernatural activity in the area. Together, can they chase off the spirits that haunt the time between the years? Or will Fels pay the blood price after all?
Join Jo on a frosty and frightening adventure and explore the rich winter lore of Germany in the sequel to BBNYA finalist Bad Grains!

" [...] People need to blame someone for the vandalism, and it has to be someone they consider different, because if it was someone like them, they wouldn't be able to feel safe anymore. [...]"
This time I'll start from the end. At the end of the book "Whiteout" by Susanne Schmidt, I found some interesting Christmas recipes that I plan to try for Christmas. After reading them, my mouth is watering. Thank you very much for them.
Returning to the book, I met friends from the previous part entitled "Bad Grains", including: Jo, her brother Hector and Rani. This time the author placed them in a beautiful winter and Christmas scenery. Christmas is approaching and evil does not intend to let up either. It will hit the town of Fels when it least expects it. Will Jo and her friends save the town from the ice lady called Frau Holle?
Here, the friendship of Jo and Rani will be put to a huge test. It is worth reading this story to find out what exactly happened.
There were moments when I was terrified. There were tears and shivers. A perfect emotional story, not only for younger readers. As you can see, adults can also find something for themselves here.
Plus for the author for including local German folklore in her dark novel. "Whiteout" is a perfect youth horror in a winter climate.
I saw a lot of references to two fairy tales by Hans Christian Andersen here. You will learn their titles while reading this novel.
After the poignant ending of this story, I am eagerly awaiting the third volume.
I will tell you one thing, it is worth reading Susanne Schmidt's novels.
