Carl has never skied before.
But this winter, his family is travelling to Italy - with real mountains, real snow, and slopes that look nothing like the videos he has watched at home.
Between a very long car journey, ski boots that refuse to bend, and the challenge of learning to ski for the first time, Carl discovers that not everything goes exactly as planned. He makes a new friend, faces a group of not-so-friendly older boys, and realises that courage doesn't always mean being the fastest or the bravest.
Sometimes, it means having a plan.
Super Carl on Skis is a funny, warm and action-filled children's story about family holidays, friendship, and finding confidence in new situations. Packed with humour, snowy adventures and a touch of imagination, it's perfect for both independent reading and bedtime read-alouds.
A heartwarming winter adventure for children.
