About this ebook
"Good for children comfortable reading longer books on their own."
For ages 8-12 years.
Magali: a French marmot, swayed by her friends to join their crazy sports adventures!
Magali gets thrown out of hibernation, and into a world of snowboarding animals! Foxes, deer, rabbits, hedgehogs, badgers, owls, hare, chamois, even puppies, secretly shred the pistes at night.
The lost marmot needs to find her way home, but her new mates (Henri Le Hare, F-F-Foxy, Little Foxy, Puppy Bébé, and Chamois Luc) introduce her to the Snowpark. Kickers, jumps, the halfpipe! Suddenly, she's in less of a hurry to get back to her burrow.
Mishka, her new best friend, says she should wait till Spring to find her way home, because the snow will have melted. Besides, the annual Ride Or Die Slalom Competition is coming up. Animals from all over France are coming to participate. And, her new mates have entered her into it! She needs to show off what she's learnt!
This marmot starts to think big. But, the snow is unpredictable and you can't always know what's coming ahead!
A middle grade book series about unexpected friendships, trusting gut instinct, and learning independence!

Question for the Author
How did you come up with the character of Magali?
'You know, I really love the French Alps, and looking at all the animals that live in the mountains. I'm Australian, so I had never seen a marmot before moving to France. I worked one summer, for a kids' summer camp, and part of my job was to take the children out on walks. We would go looking for marmots, all of us being very quiet, secretly sneaking up to the holes in the ground, where the entrances to the marmot burrows were. Of course, we would make too much noise and the marmots would disappear into their underground tunnels, but sometimes we were lucky and able to take photos. I think their underground homes took over my imagination, and before you knew it, I had a whole chapter book in my head, with Magali as the principal character!'
Muddy Frank
Muddy Frank writes humorous children's chapter books. 'I see the Mt Blanc from my balcony every day. I love it because I grew up in Australia by the beach, so this is so different. I like the food that comes with the alps lifestyle; the fondue, the steaks, the mulled wine. Before France, I lived in the UK. Love the London markets. I also lived in Spain. Love the jamon iberico. I'm a fan of the south of France too, can't get enough of the colour of the Mediterranean sea. Anyway..., I travel, I observe and I stash away ideas in my head, and then I sit in my mountain pad, and I write.' https://muddyfrankbooks.wordpress.com/ https://www.facebook.com/MuddyFrankBooks
