The setting seems to be the focus here, and the descriptions of the remarkable destination, an actual place built out of ice, are evocative. But this time around, the previous books’ spontaneity and earned insights are winnowed down to a somewhat tired recitation of each protagonist’s particular fears or challenges-Herb worries, Lucy is maternal, and Freddy is eccentrically creative (cute cartoon spot art shows drawings from his sketchbook). The narrative follows the same format as the previous two books: Chapters alternate between the third-person points of view of the three Peach children, Lucy, Freddy, and Herb. When 8-year-old Freddy Peach wins a grand prize in a sweepstakes for small hotel owners, the Peaches fly to Sweden for a one-week, all-expenses-paid stay at the legendary Icehotel in Kiruna. The third book in the adventures of the Peach family brings them to Sweden’s famous Icehotel.
