Zoe had never let being in a wheelchair stop her from doing what she wanted. So, when her parents decided to move to a remote town in north Canada, it sounded like a real adventure. But now that she?s here, Zoe?s not so sure. The snow makes getting around difficult. All the other kids at school are into snow sports and Zoe can?t join in.
