One day the Hollister children saw their grandparents on television. The show was featuring dog sled races during a yearly Canadian Trappers' Carnival. Since the elder Mr. and Mrs. Hollister run a winter resort called Snowflake Camp in Canada, the children thought it would be a wonderful idea to ask their grandparents if they could visit them over the Thanksgiving vacation when the next Carnival would be starting.

No one had any idea, while waiting for the invitation to arrive, that Snowflake Camp would turn out to be the trail’s end of a mystery which started in Shoreham. A mystery involving the children’s schoolteacher, her missing brother (a fine trainer of Eskimo dogs) and some valuable Eskimo puppies that appear then disappear from an abandoned barn near the Camp. The children learn to ski, drive a dog sled and solve a mystery in the land of deep snow and long cold winters.

The Happy Hollisters is a series of books about a family who loves to solve mysteries. The series was published by the Stratemeyer Syndicate and entirely written by Andrew E. Svenson (1910-1975) under the pseudonym Jerry West. All 33 volumes in this children's mystery series were written based in part on the real-life adventures of his own six children as they were growing up in New Jersey in the 1950s and 1960s.

Helen S. Hamilton (1921-2014) illustrated the books.

Svenson ("Jerry West") was a prolific author with more than 80 children's books to his credit, he is also known for his work outlining, editing, writing, and/or rewriting for the Hardy Boys (as "Franklin W.
