Meanwhile,her sister Anna,teaming up with an iceman named Kristoff and his reindeer Sven,sets off on a epic journey to save her kingdom…
PROLOGUE
Long ago,atop a mountain high above the kingdom of Arendelle,a group of strong men were hard at work.They were ice harvesters,men who cut and hauled huge blocks of ice from the mountain lakes.Horses stood at mountain,waiting with empty wagons to be filled.The ice blocks were hoisted into the wagons;soon they would be taken down to the village to sell.It was a dangerous business.One slip could srnd a block hurtling down the mountainside-or even worse,Falling on a man and crushing him.
A boy stood in the shadows watching the workmen.He kept a small sled at his side.His name was Kristoff,and he desperately wanted to join the ice harvesters,but he was too young.Standing next to him was his friend Sevn,a baby reindeer.Kristoff imagined the two of them taking a sled full of ice blocks into the village of Arendelle.Sven sniffed the cold air and glanced at the big blocks of ice.They looked very heavy.He snorted but didn't move a hoof.
As evening approached,Kristoff finally convinced Sven to carry a small load of ice on their sled.By now,the men had lit several lanterns and were finishing loading their on wagons.Kristoff crept forward and was able to grab a small block of ice.He finally wrestled the block onto his sled and attach Sven's harness.
Wagon by wagon,the ice harvesters headed down the mountain roads.Kristoff trailed behind with Sven,steering his own small wagon down the bumpy path.
Above them all,the northern lights sprrad across the dark sky,creating waves of gossamer green light.The magical glow pulsed as it rolled over the mountains, down toward the kingdom below.
Chaper One
In a grassy valley next to a deep fjord,the castle of Arendelle lay silent in the night. The bright luster of the northern lights danced across the windows,waking a small girl.She sat up and grinned to see thewonderful green light.
The girl jumped out of bed and tiptoed across the room to wake up her older sister.“Elsa,Elsa！”She said urgently.“Wake up！”
Elsa,whowas eight years old,grumbled and ducked under the covers.“Anna,go back to sleep.”
But Anna wouldn't give up.“I just can't.The sky is awake,so I am awake,and so we have to play,”she said.“Do you want to bulid a snowman?”
Elsa's eyes popped open.That got her attention.The girls were the daughters of Arendelle's king and queen,and the best of friends.Elsa couldn't resist Anna's begging.The sisters ran down the hallway in their nightgowns,laughingas they hurried along.Entering the Great Hall,where all the royal balls were held,they turned to each other.
“Are you ready?”Elsa asked,smiling.
“Yes,yes!”Anna cried, reaching out to tickle her sister.
Elsa giggled,and suddenly,snowflakes seemed toburst in a flurry from her hands!
Anna clapped happily.She knew that her sister had a very special talent:she coukd creat snow and ice,even in the middle of summer!
With a twirl and a wave of her hands,Elsa magically summoned her icy powers.Quickly,she filled the Great Hall with mounds of fully snow,turnning it into a winter playground.Then she stomped her feet and ice swept across the floor.She laughed to see little Anna hopping around joyfully.
Together,they went to work building their snowman.Anna did her best to roll out the snowman's body.Then she ran to get a carrot for the nose.“Snowman!”sheexclaimed proudly.
Elsa laughed at the lopsided snowman.“Hi,I'm Olaf,”she said in a deep voice,pretending to be the snowman.“And I like warm hugs.”
The girls danced around their funny snowman.Then Elsa gathered her icy magic and made a swooping ice slide.Anna squealed with delight.She climbed to the top of the slide,then zoomed down and soared up again along the icy curve.Elsa quickly created another slide to catch Anna as she came down.The little girl gained speed and was tossed upward again.Elsa had to work fast to keep pace with Anna.She kept making more slides so her sister could stay aloft as she flew around the room.
“Anna,slow down,”Elsa said,starting to get worried.“It's too high！”
But Anna was having fun.The little princess was fearless,jumping and sliding to each new slide as quickly as Elsa made it.Elsa raised her hand to create the next slide,but suddenly,her foot slipped.As she stumbled,her magic went awry.Her frozen blast caught the side of Anna's head,right through her curls.
Anna gasped and fell to the ground,unconscious.“Anna！”Elsa shouted,running to her sister.She lifted Anna's hair had turned pure white where the magic had hit it.“Mama！Papa！”Elsa cried desperately.
As she called for help and her worry increased,icicles formed on the ceiling,and frozen spikes grew tall around the girls.
The king and queen burst into the Great Hall to find their daughters huddled in a frozen landscape.They knew that Elsa had a special ability to creat ice,but this was more than they'd ever seen.“Elsa,”the king cried.This is out of hand！”
“I'm sorry,”Elsa replied in distress.“I didn't mean it！”
“Anna！”the queen gasped,and ran toward her little girl.
Chapter 2
The castle's library was dark,but the king knew what he was looking for:an ancient book filled with knowledge from centuies past.When he found it,he pulled it from the shelf and quickly flipped through the pages to the section he needed.In it was a drawing of a troll,which seemed to be holding the northern lights in its hands.In front of the troll,a wounded human lay quiet while the troll used the magic of the northern lights to heal him.The king turned the page and spotted a crumbling document tucked into the book.He carefully unfolded the yellow map.
Wasting no time,the king and queen trew on their cloaks,bundled up their daughters,and ordered that the horses be saddled.The royal family hurried away from the castle.The queen traveled on her horse with Elsa,while the king held Anna in his arms.The horses thundered up the mountain path.
Kristoff and Sven were walking down the rocky mountain path under the bright glow of the northern lights.But as the rumble of hooves filled the air,they moved aside,wary of the approaching horses.They watched the riders gallop past,leaving a trail of ice behind them.
Curious,kristoff and Sven followed the travelers to a ridge above a mountain valley.The two hid behind a rock and watched as the horses whinnied and came to a stop.
The king and queen dismounted.The king held a young girl to his shoulder;the queen held the hand of a slightly older girl.
"Please,help!" the king cried out."My daughter!" The hillside appeared empty at first.Then a pile of rocks rolled down the hillside. Suddenly,the rocks unfolded themselves into legs and arms and stood up,revealing themselves to be small gray creatures –they weren't rocks at all! "Trolls,"Kristoff whispered to Sven.
At that moment,a rock next to kristoff jumped up,turning into a short troll woman covered with moss.Her name was Hulda.
"Shush,"Hulda told Kristoff absently."I'm trying to listen." Then,startled,Hulda looked more closely at Kristoff,realizing for the first time that he was not a troll.Her face broke into a grin, and she reach out to give Kristoff and Sven big hugs."Cuties!" she said,laughing.
In a valley,the king stood with his daughters as Pabbie,a very old troll,made his way through the crowd to gaze at the princesses.
First he looked at Elsa."Was she born with the powers or curesd?" he asked.
