Pasadena Abominable Lumimies

My son couldn't put this down once the Blakes escape the heat—it really captures that wish for a snowy adventure. The opening scene in Pasadena felt so real, I was almost sweating along with them.

My kids were glued to this book from the first chapter—the idea of escaping California's heat for real snow really hooked them. The sibling banter between Jordan and Nicole feels authentic, and the pacing keeps you turning pages.

My kids and I couldn't put this down once the Blakes finally hit that snowy destination—the sibling dynamic feels so real. The description of their trip completely pulled us in, and the paperback had a nice, easy-to-hold feel during our reading sessions.
