Fabulous, wholesome, family reading,
By A Customer
This review is from: Swiss Holiday (Mountain Adventures Series) (Paperback)
Our entire family devoured this book together - the beautiful interactions of the brother and sister in this book, the correctness of the mountaineering technique, the edge of the seat adventure in such healthy relationships was all so refreshing and delightful. We're off to Iceland now in the next book in the series!
