Woo hoo G.G. has always wanted to snowboard, and now she gets her chance. She boldly tells her family, "It's the halfpipe or nothing " But it's a lot harder than she expected. Can G.G. brave that crazy flying couch, the lift? Slide the rails at the terrain park with her cousin Carlos? Or even ride the big, scary halfpipe? Shred the mountain with sassy, spunky G.G. in the first of this fresh, new chapter book series for kids ages 6-9.

Join G.G.-an eight-year-old Hispanic girl who lives in a big-city apartment -as she explores the joys and pitfalls of snowboarding for the first time. A thrilling read for kids in first through fourth grades, and a great Winter Olympics sports adventure for kids of all ages.
