Review of 'Winter holiday' on 'Goodreads'

Wow, this is so good. They keep getting better and better. Two new characters appear, Dick and Dot, city kids who have to figure out how to deal with all this nature stuff, just adding to the lovely cast of characters. Captain Nancy is barely seen in this one, having the mumps (and "a face the size of a pumpkin"), but is still the mad mastermind behind many of their adventures. Will their expedition to the North Pole be successful (and remember historically, that has been quite dangerous)?

I just hope I won't be let down by the next book. How can you get better than this?
