Little Logan and his family have moved into Grandma's old rambling farmhouse in the country because Logan's father is out of a job and the family has no money to go elsewhere. Logan is a five-year-old boy who misses his old home and his preschool friends. Because there is no preschool close to Grandma's, Logan will have to wait until the fall, when he starts kindergarten, to return to school.

It's the middle of the winter, and there's nothing but snow all around. Poor Logan is bored to tears—until the day he discovers a magic sled in Grandma's shed! The old red sled that Logan finds is peeling, and its runners have seen better days—but this sled has something that other sleds don't: magic!
