Up the Dizzy Mountain

I read “Up the Dizzy Mountain”. The characters are Sam, Pip, Ben, Jojo and Mouse. Sam pushes a button that is written “DM”. DM is short the Dizzy Mountain. After that, they are in Dizzy Mountain. The country is covered with many trees and snow. A huge castle is on a top of mountain. But Pip is wearing a T-shirt, the others are wearing sweaters. In addition, Ben has his little packet that is written “Sneezing Power”. Sam has her pot of Slippery Slide Cream and Jojo has a tool that he can wipe dust. While everyone expects Pip talk, Pip plays in the snow.




Ben explains a thing to Pip. They didn’t come to play, they have big problem and they must solve it. When they are talking, they hear a cheery voice. It is a huge white bear’s. A white bear is printed on Pip’s T-shirt. The bear’s name is Buddy and it shakes Pip’s hand. The others are overpowered. Pip introduces Buddy others and they also shake Buddy’s hand. Buddy brings them to a shack. The shack is a Reindeer Lady. They are walking onto the ice. When they reach the shack, she gives them some hot broth. Buddy gives them some blankets. There is a stove and a hammock in the shack. Mouse asks the Reindeer Lady the reason she is called “the Reindeer Lady”. She will show the reason after they go outside. The children borrow some coats, boots and gloves from her. The boots size is big for Pip, so he stuffs the boots with newspapers.




They go to outside, reindeers stand up. When the Reindeer Lady gives a little whistle, the biggest reindeer comes. The reindeer is Rusty and wears a bell around its neck. It will take them to the castle. It needs some cube sugar to run. Buddy brings a heavy sledge and some blankets in the sledge. Buddy and the Reindeer Lady fix the biggest reindeer the sledge. The children jump into the sledge and Buddy takes a rein.




When Pip sings his song, the children join with his song. On the way, sledges appear. Those are pulled by wolves. It is Gungees. While Rusty is running, the children are thrown out lie down in the snow. Then Buddy finds a cave and they enter in the cave. Gungees comes. Buddy guards the children.
A leader of Gungee said “Boss don’t want you! Wants children!”(p.25 line 13) Buddy said “You’ll have to get past me first,” then the leader throws a snow ball at Buddy. It hits Buddy’s right ear. Then Ben thinks of an idea. He runs up to Buddy. He takes the packet out. He opens it and wolves begin to sneeze. They can’t attack at all.




In the cave, the elevator appears. The parting time comes. Pip gives Buddy big a hug and the children take the elevator to their homes. After they reached their homes, Pip crossed because he couldn't make any snowman in Dizzy Mountain. 　　


It is an interesting story. I thought that Buddy is so grave and I like it!!!!!
