Williamson. But Kirby discovers that operating a ‘snow hotel’ in the schoolyard comes with its own set of challenges: sourcing the best snow blocks, staff ‘team-building,’ marketing, and competition from Brewster’s Best Five-Star Inn run by the Bear and his gang of the meanest kids in Grade 6. Put Your Feet Up – But Leave Your Boots On! Grade Five budding businessman Kirby Katz plans to make a tidy profit running Frostbite Hotel at recess. The trouble is, The Bear and his nasty crew of Grade Sixers have built a snow hotel of their own. Not only that, each time Kirby comes up with a fresh idea, The Bear has beat him to it! As the coincidences pile up like snow blocks, Kirby begins to suspect that one of his friends may be betraying Frostbite Hotel’s best business secrets to the competition… I’m excited to share Frostbite Hotel with you and know you’ll enjoy meeting Kirby, Marvin, Jeannie and the rest of the gang (even The Bear…if you dare!). Fun doodle-art throughout the book adds to the fun…a great read to warm up your winter (or cool down your summer!)
