PS
Altoona and her friends head north to visit her aunt in "north Saskatoon-a." But after too much fun in the snow, Auntie decides to surreptitiously guide the trip south, and before they know it, they're back in sunny Laguna Beach. Although the verse is sometimes forced, Auntie's sly surprise will tickle funny bones, as will the vibrant cartoon illustrations rendered in "digital pen-and-ink and watercolor."
