Snowwhere

Vinny Armstrong is thirteen. On a school skiing holiday to France an avalanche sucks him into a world beneath the snow. This is Snowwhere, dedicated to the supremacy of skiing. He is to help the Snowwhere 'authorities' rid the slopes of snowboarders. He meets a host of oddbods: the mysterious Sal O'Pet, his own 'chalet pet', a yeti and the daunting figure of Princess Bellaclava and Monty, an emperor penguin. But who is friend and who is foe? And why are three other youngsters held captive?
Escape is the only answer, but first he has to face the snowboarders, ski for his life and outwit Allie Pine, the princess's right-hand woman.....
