Very good book. Much more enjoyable that the last Lassie one we read which I was a little bored by.

I really enjoyed this book! I won't tell you why, but my claustrophobia didn't make it an easy read. I learned a lot more about snowmobiles than I expected though, and actually found the plot engaging and realistic despite being targeted towards children because it didn't dumb down anything, it felt a bit like my grandparents telling me a story. I'd definitely recommend this!

That being said, our main character Scott let's Lassie go off with just about anyone who offers her a ride despite knowing the 14ft snow is too much for her to handle in the mountains, and that she scares easily when snowmobiles hit ice; overall he wasn't a perfect dog parent.

The Steve Frazee Lassie books are my favorite. First of all the Forest Service storylines really ring true. Secondly, Steve understands dogs, and writes them well.

In this adventure Lassie is taken on a snowmobile adventure, and gets caught in an avalanche. Thrilling and very real, I loved this book as much now as I did when I got this for Christmas when I was about eight years old. Nothing but fond memories here!
