Dude's Gotta Snowboard

For 8 - 12 year.

A marmot who snowboards at night!





Little did Magali know that when she went to sleep that night, she wouldn't see her family again for a very long time...



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. Her new group of friends, Mishka, Henri Le Hare, F-F-Foxy, Little Foxy, Puppy Bébé, and Chamois Luc can't wait for Competition Night. Magali can't wait either! She needs to ride. Or die.



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





Middle Grade. For ages 8-12 yrs. The adventures of Magali, a cautious adrenalin addict!

Young readers will enjoy this 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!
