Winter has arrived, and the girls decide to cosy up with a picnic in the North Pole. But to their surprise the Arctic Queen gives them a frosty reception.
Before they can enjoy snowflake-shaped sandwiches and mountains of ice cream, they must first understand how important it is to protect the polar animals’ habitat. But can they figure out how to stop the North Pole from melting?

The North Pole Picnic - Emma Beswetherick
Zia LOVED the Christmas vacation. Her family were Muslim and celebrated a festival called Eid twice each year, but this was still a special time for them. They loved the twinkling lights that brightened up the town, and even though they didn’t exchange presents like the families of lots of children in her class, they spent time seeing aunts, uncles, and cousins, and eating lots of delicious food. This year was going to be even more special because in just a few days they were flying to India for a family wedding. But before that Zia had the last day of term to enjoy, and it was going to be AWESOME for two AWESOME reasons. Firstly, because her best friends were coming for a playdate after school. Secondly, because it was a non-school-uniform day. Put these things together and it meant today was definitely going to be Zia’s favorite day of the entire term.
"Come on, Zia! It’s time to leave! yelled her mom. Zia’s family was a loud, bellowy sort of family.
Your sisters are waiting!"
Zia wondered how many times she’d been called already—her mind had been too occupied with playdates and choosing what to wear to notice. Coming, coming!
she bellowed back from her room, checking her silver leggings and fluffy turquoise sweater in the mirror one last time. Have you found my light-up sneakers?
Yes! You know you’ve asked me that about five times already this morning?
Her mom had that half-cross face she often wore in the mornings before school—somewhere between a frown and a grin.
Zia trotted down the stairs, then smiled innocently at her mom while she put on her sneakers. Her older sisters were fighting (as usual) to see who could get their coats down from the peg first.
Everyone ready?
their mom asked, hurrying them out of the door so as not to be late for the bell. And remember,
she said, turning to Zia, your friends are coming for a playdate after school.
Zia’s heart did another little leap of excitement.
"Mom, you know I’ve told you that about five times this morning!" she said cheekily. Surely her mom knew that was one thing she couldn’t possibly forget.
Zia was in Junipers class at Bishop’s Park Primary (every class in her year was named after a tree or shrub) along with her two best friends, Cassandra and Katy. The three girls were inseparable and loved nothing more than planning adventures—and going on playdates to each other’s houses. Last term they’d set up a new secret club called the Playdate Adventure Club and it was the coolest thing Zia had ever been a part of.
That lunchtime, after finishing off the calendars they’d been making in class, the three girls huddled in the cold playground, chatting excitedly about the playdate they were having later.
I’ve told my sisters they’re not allowed in my room the whole time we’re playing!
Zia exclaimed.
Good thinking.
