After the extremely hard winter of 2009, S. D. Crockett asked herself, "What if winter never ended?" and from that thought, her debut novel, After the Snow, was born. Crockett lives in the United Kingdom.
"Crockett has created a voice that gets inside you, a voice that, though limited in vocabulary and perspective, achieves remarkable emotional range. And Willo proves the perfect narrator for this harrowing tale about the dangerous new world of Crockett's invention. . . . After the Snow is a coming-of-age novel, first and foremost--a brutal, tough and sometimes truly transcendent one." --The New York Times Book Review "Suspenseful and powerful." --VOYA "In this powerful first novel, global warming has killed the North Atlantic Current, sending the U.K. and much of the U.S. into a new ice age." --Publishers Weekly, starred review "A sentimental tale of hardships, resilience and first-time experiences that illustrates a universal truism: Hope springs eternal in the young." --Kirkus Reviews, starred review "Marks Crockett as a writer to watch." --Booklist "What elevates Snow is the voice Crockett uses to tell the tale." --School Library Journal, starred review
