There’s snow place like home! Sausage-loving Gnome and pragmatic Rat are BACK and ready to hit the slopes in the third installment of this early graphic novel series.

Gnome and Rat can’t wait to hang out with Rat’s family for Nest Fest! But a blizzard has hit and Gnome wants to enjoy it with snowy activities. Surely, they have enough time to enjoy the snow and arrive on time to the festival… right?

Bundle up with these funny friends as they practice their ice dancing skills and break out the Gnomeboggan for a ride to remember. But will they make it to Nest Fest before it’s over?

One thing is for sure, these two snow exactly how to have a good time on the way: with each other.
