Rosco the Rascal In the Land of Snow

Rosco the rascally German shepherd has never seen snow before. Now he'll get the chance to romp around in a snow-covered world high in the mountains. But trouble seems to find Rosco wherever he goes. Will his curious nature spoil the weekend for James and Mandy, or will it save the day?

This second adventure in the Rosco the Rascal series will keep readers guessing from the start. Fifth grader James and his second grade sister, Mandy, are building snowmen and sled riding down steep hills on their winter family vacation.

Amid the fun, they don't realize it's a coyote pup, lost and frightened, that has been poking around their cabin in the snow. It's Rosco who discovers the identity of the wild creature first, so he sets out on his own to help the pup.

When the kids finally unravel the mystery, it's almost too late to rescue the poor creature, which now finds itself in even more trouble. It's up to brother and sister to use their wits in a sticky situation, yet trust their rascal-turned-hero dog to help.
