A record snowfall gives best friends Matt, Chad, Dean, and Andrew the idea of building the most epic snow maze ever, so great they can even charge admission. Meanwhile, a hapless criminal named Dewey Biggs finds himself stranded in the tiny prairie town of Milligan Creek where the boys live. Struggling with amnesia following a car accident, he's unable to remember where he buried an important item just prior to the collision, and if he doesn't find it, there's no telling what his boss will do to him. With the boys hunting for the perfect snow maze location and Dewey searching for his treasure, it's only a matter of time before the two forces collide, right in time for Valentine's Day!
Up the Creek!, book 1 in the Milligan Creek Series, has sold over 40,000 copies and spent over 17 weeks at the top of Amazon.com's Canadian Literature best-seller list.
