Synopsis by the author/publisher
Jamie has been waiting and waiting all winter for snow but when the temperature finally starts to drop, her friend Eli begins to worry about his newly planted strawberries, so Jamie helps him keep the seedlings warm the night the snowboarding weather arrives.
“"Aren't you hot?" he asks. I shrug. "I want to be ready if it snows." "Jamie, it's nearly 70 degrees out," Eli says.”
