The secret of Kendall Mountain

"Helplessly, Pat watched tons of snow slide from the side of Kendall Mountain, filling the clearing. It was over in an instant. An impenetrable white barricade now separated him from the waiting girls. In desperation, he pulled off his mittens, cupped his hands, and shouted as loud as he could. "Kade! Sara! Are you all right?" No answer. The silence was terrifying. Silverton, Colorado--final destination of one of the most famous narrow-gauge steam trains in the world. Any kid would be thrilled to take a ride, especially if it meant getting out of school, right? Well, perhaps not, if it means missing the 8th grade dance and graduation. Pat, a Silverton native, and Kade from Illinois, are two young teens with big problems. They tackle them together during on unspring-like May in avalanche country."--Back cover.
