Join Katy, Cassie, Zia and Thunder the cat on their next adventure!

However, face-to-face with Pilar the polar bear, the girls soon discover humans are not as welcome in the Arctic as they had hoped. They must earn their place at the magnificent Arctic picnic and to do so they have to compete in the Winter Games. But up against animals perfectly adapted to their environments, how will they stand a chance
