Dude's Gotta Snowboard

A French marmot who is an accidental sports addict! Middle grade book for 8-12 yrs

Yes or No: Marmots are supposed to sleep all winter. Correct.

So, how does a sleeping marmot get thrown out of her burrow? And, meet snowboarding animals?!

Boar, deer, rabbits, hedgehogs, foxes, chamois, and hare shred the pistes at night, and Magali's never seen anything like it. She's never even spoken to other animals before.

This marmot tries to find her way home, but can't. So she surrenders to her situation. She offers Maurice The Mouton seven walnuts for a snowboard and learns to take the chairlift, go down blue runs, then red runs. Then, she gets addicted to the Snowpark, and now she doesn't even want to go home. Not with the Ride Or Die Slalom Competition coming up. It's the biggest and most fun winter event with animals coming from all over to participate. She needs to be a part of it! She needs to ride. Or die. 

Dude, seriously. When is she going to go home?

Young readers will enjoy this middle grade fantasy adventure book set in the French Alps. There are animals of all sizes; foxes, boar, lynx, deer, rabbits, eagles, hedgehogs, owls, you name it, shredding the slopes while Big People are tucked up in their chalets!
