In London, in a winter which shows no sign of ending, a unique friendship begins. This is the story of Blessing, aged ten-and-a-half, and Albert Framlington, aged six hundred - an eccentric snowman who has seen many winters in many cities, and who is duty-bound by the Snowman Code to help any child in need. Together, Blessing and Albert must find a way to defeat Blessing's bullies, win back Albert's long-lost love Clementine, and even overcome the never-ending winter itself.
