About This Book

A resourceful schoolgirl and her friends spend the winter at a remote snow camp, where outdoor sports and camaraderie give way to escalating dangers: a runaway wagon propels them into the backwoods, encounters with rugged locals and wildlife, a fierce blizzard isolates parties, and a sequence of captures and narrow escapes unfolds. Episodes include frost games, a tense telephone pursuit, life in a hidden refuge, and coordinated searches that gradually unravel misunderstandings and criminal motives, culminating in rescues and explanations that resolve earlier mysteries.
