Bookroo's summary

Caroline's winter plans with her friend Rhonda and cousin Lydia take a chilly turn when she feels left out. As the girls bond over indoor activities, Caroline's frustration grows, leading her to make a perilous choice that endangers them all. Can they navigate the icy consequences of her actions? Set against the backdrop of the early 1800s, this tale explores friendship and the perils of impulsive decisions.

From the publisher

Caroline imagined it would be great fun to have two girls staying at her house for the winter. But her friend Rhonda and her cousin Lydia seem to have more in common with each other than they do with Caroline. Worse, they’d rather stay inside styling hair than go skating and sledding on a beautiful day. When nothing Caroline tries seems to change things, her hurt feelings lead her to make a dangerous decision–one that puts all three girls on very thin ice! The illustrated “Looking Back” section discusses Christmastime and growing up in the early 1800s.
