Winter Wonderland (Adventures of Upton Charles Dog Detective)

by D.G. Stern, Deborah Allison (Illustrator)

Overview

Upton Charles and his family are in New Hampshire for a weekend ski vacation and our canine investigator meets three Saint Bernards.

But it would not be an Upton Charles adventure without a mystery. Our sleuth is a Bichon Frise (that's "BEE-shon free-ZEY"), who is

quickly on the trail of a long-lost treasure map, buried gold, and the papers of Daniel Webster. The fire is warm, but the case is never cold. Come

along with Upton as he considers two-hundred-year-old clues to solve the mystery in Winter Wonderland.
