Holly wants to be an adventurer, just like her Dad. He's an
explorer--well, a travel writer--but he's always off on adventures. Like
now, he's away in Greenland riding dogsleds and sleeping in an igloo
while Holly is stuck at home with her mother, baby brother Ernest and
Oates the disobedient dog. Worse still, he won't be there when she
performs her magic tricks in front of a huge crowd at school in 10 days,
or for her birthday. But Dad has planned something very special--Holly's
birthday card is a map where X marks the beginning of 10 challenges that
she must complete in as many days; her very own "Dadventure!" As Holly
completes each task she discovers that exploration often means facing
your fears, that her mother used to be a danger-loving daredevil and
that adventures can happen very close to home!
