One girl. One mountain. One chance to survive.

In the quiet village of Oakhaven, ten-year-old Ava has always been different. While others see the Great White Peak as a playground, Ava hears its "mountain-tongue" a low, vibrating hum that warns of shifting ice and restless snow. The villagers call her "mountain-touched," but no one realizes just how important her gift is until the morning the sky turns lead-gray and the world begins to shake.

When a massive avalanche tears through the valley, Ava is separated from her family and entombed in a frozen wasteland. Armed only with her wits, a pair of hand-knitted survival mittens, and her loyal terrier, Pip, Ava must navigate a landscape that has been rewritten by ice and shadow.

But surviving the slide is only the beginning. To find her way back home, Ava must:

• Scale the jagged heights of the Great White Peak to reach the High Cave.
• Rescue a friend from the suffocating "blue ice."
• Master the mountain's secrets to signal the survivors below.

Ava and the Avalanche is a gripping tale of resilience, the power of observation, and the unbreakable bond between a girl and the wilderness. It is a story for every child who has ever felt unheard, proving that even the smallest voice can echo louder than a mountain's roar.
