Reggie on a Sledgie - Olivia Mulligan

Reggie On a Sledgie follows Little Pip and hermischievous kitten, Reggie, as they discover that their winter garden hides afantastical secret. One snowy morning, Reggie darts under the hedge, and whenPip crawls after him, she finds herself in a magical winter forest glitteringwith frost, quiet skies, and snow-speckled trees. Before they can take in thewonder, chaos bursts through the stillness in the form of a high-speed sledgedriven by a daring old lady named Ruth—famed for her missing tooth—and herloyal goat, Goose. Ruth, a decorated former champion of winter sports, isspirited, swift, and perhaps a bit reckless. She welcomes Pip and Reggiewarmly, offering Pip a coat and to teach them “the ropes†of sledging. Reggie eagerly hops aboard, but Pip hesitates at the edge of a steep slope. Asshe steps away, she doesn’t realize the sledge has already started sliding—withReggie still on it. The runaway ride sends Reggie hurtling through the forest,along snow-thickened paths and past startled woodland creatures, including themysterious Googley Eyed Cat. With Reggie losing control and the slope growingsteeper, Ruth and Goose race after him on their own sledge. In a flurry ofsnow, speed, and daring teamwork, they manage to rescue the frightened butexhilarated little cat. Reunited at last, Pip hugs Reggie tightly, relieved he’ssafe. Ruth, impressed by Reggie’s newfound steering instincts, encourages Pipto try again—this time with Reggie confidently leading the way. Mustering hercourage, Pip climbs aboard. With Ruth’s countdown and a mighty push, Pip andReggie zoom down the slope together, fear melting into delight as they flythrough the winter air. When the adventure winds down, Pip and Reggie return throughthe hedge to their own garden, tired, happy, and ready for tomorrow’s newdiscoveries.
