The Pocono Mountains of Pennsylvania are the scene of this action-filled story by one of America's favorite authors of books for young people. Mark Wilkins, a junior in high school and the oldest in a large family, is trying to find ways of supporting them now that his father, a struggling novelist, has died. Their only inheritance is a worthless strip of cutover mountainside. A fine skier himself, Mark dreams of turning this into a good commercial ski slope.
With the help of his brother-in-law Buck Evans, whom readers will remember from an earlier book by Mr. Meader, Blueberry Mountain, Mark clears the hill of stumps and rocks and sets out-against high odds but with his entire family joining in-to make his dream come true.
Mark's determination to maintain a good scholastic standing, his exploits as a basketball and football player, and his real achievement in making a paying business of the ski run, all combine to make an exciting, authentic story of courage and perseverance that will win a quick response from boys everywhere.
