Book Summary |
|
It’s the day before Thanksgiving, and so much snow has fallen that the Hoppers can sled to school. But the blizzard continues during the day. The Hoppers are sent home at noon, only to find that their sled is buried, the wind is cold, and they have become lost in the woods. How will they make it home for Thanksgiving dinner at Grandpa Grizzly’s.
