What do seven kids do on a cold winter day when rain and sleet have created a thick crust of ice on top of the snow? It's so slick and icy that sledding seems impossible"almost. Lizzie and her friends convince her grandfather to let them try to push his old-fashioned travis sled, a long, bench-like sled on runners, uphill so they can fly downhill, down the highest, mightiest, iciest sledding hill off Old Mountain Road. New Hampshire storyteller Rebecca Rule brings her trademark wry sense of New England humor to this delightful tale of a wild sled ride. Connecticut artist Jennifer Thermes's beautiful watercolors are so full of motion, you'll be holding on to your hats and scarves for this one.

The multi-talented Rebecca "Becky" Rule is an author, humorist, storyteller, and performer as well as a radio and television host. She has been performing and telling stories in New England, especially in her home state of New Hampshire, for more than thirty years. She hosted the NH Authors series for ten years on New Hampshire PBS and now hosts the network's Our Hometown series. While she hasn't yet visited every town in the Granite State, she has found her way to many of them--speaking at libraries, historical societies, church groups, and charitable organizations. In addition to being a speaker, she is also a dedicated listener who loves to collect stories because "they're free and you don't have to dust them."


Becky is also an author. Her books include N is for New Hampshire, an ABC book with photographs by Scott Snyder; The Iciest Diciest Scariest Sled Ride Ever!, a picture book illustrated by Jennifer Thermes; Headin' for the Rhubarb, A NH Dictionary (well, kinda); Live Free and Eat Pie, and That Reminds Me of a Funny Story.


Becky lives in Northwood with her husband, John Rule, four cats and two dogs, all rescues--except for John Rule and Reggie, the obnoxious wire fox terrier.


Jennifer Thermes is a children's book author and illustrator. In addition to being an avid reader, an obsessed gardener, and an adorer of cats, she creates illustrated maps for publishing and magazine clients. Her most recent book is Maggie & Oliver, or A Bone of One's Own, a middle-grade novel by Valerie Hobbs (Henry Holt Books for Young Readers). She lives in an old farmhouse in Connecticut with her family, two cats, one dog, and countless mice. Stephanie Calmenson is the author of more than one hundred books for children. Her fiction and poetry have been called marvelous (Publishers Weekly), and funny, sweet, and right on the mark⠝ (Booklist). She is also known for her highly acclaimed books about dogs. Stephanie lives in New York City and vacations in Maine. This book was inspired by a trip she and her husband took to Isle au Haut, a small island about five miles off the coast of Maine.
