Lexile:  660

Jarod, who’s 11 years old, and his sister, Jennifer, 8 years old, and their parents go on a ski trip in Colorado resort. Jarod and Jennifer go on a slope when the see a bully from their old school. He follows them and pushes Jennifer down. Jennifer and Jarod are afraid that he might hurt them, so they go on the caution zone thinking they will only stay there until the bully leaves. But they get tired of waiting and try to go down the slope.  Jarod gets buried in an avalanche. Jennifer works hard to find him and pull him out, but when he gets out, it is too dark try to go the rest of the way home.  They build a snow igloo, where they hope to stay warm and safe until morning comes. Will they come out alive?

I really liked his book, because I like mysteries. The author wrote in such a way that when they felt scared it made me feel scared.  You could feel the cold of the long night as you waited with them until the morning light.
