Dad has the brilliant idea to bring Snowman back to California. And he loves trail mix! The kids report him to their dad, and when they get back to the cave, Snowman is frozen in ice again. Everyone - the characters, the readers - are having a great time. Instead it felt like a fun adventure, a wild romp. This book is rather nutty and takes some twists you don't expect, but this didn't annoy me. Add a mysterious abominable snowman to the mix, and well - you're in for a ride - that's for sure! Two tanned, blonde California kids are like fish out of water in the frigid snow covered fields of Alaska. Until they find a remote cave where a giant, ferocious-looking abominable snowman stands - encased in ice. Until their truculent and near-mute guide takes off with the dog, the sled, and the equipment, leaving them stranded.
Until they have to hike 10 miles to the outpost abandoned cabin they're staying at. Stunned and thrilled at the sight of snow, practical joker Jordan and know-it-all Nicole are having the time of their lives in the frozen North. Since the kids' babysitter is not available, he's taking them with him. Their father is a renowned photographer - and he's called off on assignment to track down an abominable snowman which has been spotted in Alaska. They've spent their whole lives in sunny Pasadena, California. Jordan and Nicole Blake have never seen snow. This is less of a horror story and more an adventure story, I'd say.
