The Iciest, Diciest, Scariest Sled Ride Ever! by Rebecca Rule

3.0

Snow, ice and a winter break from school provide the perfect opportunity for a group of friends to spend the afternoon sledding together. One of the children remembers their grandpa telling stories of using a homemade, double runner sled to slide from his house at the very top of the hill, through the town, past the horse farm, the mill, the blacksmith's shop, the cemetery, the church, the skating pond and into the village. She also recalls the sled sitting in the barn and pleads with her grandpa to let them use the old sled. Grandpa agrees to let the children use the old sled but offers a number of warnings to keep the children safe. Among other things, he warns, "And stay out of the road. Times have changed." The book continues as the children enjoy the day in the snow making their own memories with Grandpa's sled.
