Synopsis: Back home in Texas, Terry Blake was the daring leader of her crowd in school and at the lake. But then came the accident and, although she wasn't seriously hurt, something happened to her nerve. She was ashamed to admit it, but she was "scary. And then, of all times, the Blakes had to move from sunny Dallas to Granite Harbor, on the wild shores of Lake Superior! How could a girl who was used to swimming in the warm water of White Rock Lake ever learn to endure the icy chill of Superior? How could a newcomer from the South keep up with a crowd of young people who had spent most of their lives on skiis, snowshoes, and iceskates? At first Terry hates the perpetual snow and ice and being continually called upon to do things she had never done before. But next door lives a family that has so much fun she cannot stay out of it. At the end of a year of good times and learning new skills, Terry finds that the north country does "get into your blood." And best of all, she is no longer afraid to do things. A book brim full of winter fun, with a special appeal for older girls.
