CHAPTER TEN

MELT AWAY

It turns out that all Carter needed was a good night’s sleep. His tired grumpiness had turned the snowman into a grumpy golem. But after some rest, Carter was able to build a new, nicer snowman. I know, it sounds crazy. Why build another snowman?

Well, because golems can be useful.

While the whole town was asleep, Carter had his snowman build a perfect winter park for everyone to enjoy.

We called it the Kersville Winter Wonderland, and it had everything: an ice castle with ice slides, a hot chocolate fountain, an igloo bouncy house, and an icicle cave. There were even lanes for sledding races around the whole place.

Plus, there were forts that were filled with round, fluffy snowballs for snowball fights. They were perfect for throwing. It almost felt good to get hit with one . . . almost.

It was hard to believe that Carter created all of this in his sleep. Talk about wild dreams!

No one knew where the snow forts came from, but no one cared. Now people come from all over to visit Kersville’s famous Winter Wonderland—but they have no idea it’s a park that was built by a snowman!

Like I said before, winter is weird, but I think that’s what makes it the best!
