Book Description
What if the greatest Christmas wish was not the one you made for yourself?
For four years, twelve-year-old Daniel Williams has carried one impossible hope: that his mother, Anna, will come home.
She disappeared without a trace on Christmas Eve when Daniel was only eight. No footprints. No goodbye. No answers. Only a mysterious silver bell left behind in the snow.
Now Daniel has returned to Wintermere for Christmas-and the impossible begins.
A mysterious girl named Nora appears. A strange white dove carries a hidden map. And a magical doorway opens into a world beyond the winter sky, where Christmas wishes are real, time does not behave normally, and a dying Winter Star holds the hopes of children everywhere.
Daniel and Nora must journey through a frozen forest, cross a magical Christmas river, enter a village that has forgotten Christmas, and climb the dangerous Shadow Mountain.
But someone is waiting for them.
The Keeper of the Winter Shadow has stolen the hopes and wishes of countless children. And he knows Daniel's greatest weakness.
When Daniel finally discovers that his mother and Nora's mother are alive, he faces a heartbreaking choice:
Can he save the mother he has spent four years searching for or must he sacrifice his greatest wish to give hope to children everywhere?
Filled with Christmas magic, mystery, friendship, courage, family, sacrifice, and wonder, The Last Christmas Wish: Beyond the Winter Stars is an emotional middle-grade Christmas fantasy adventure about the power of hope and the love that refuses to disappear.
Perfect for readers ages 10-14 who enjoy magical Christmas adventures, mysterious winter worlds, family-centered stories, brave young heroes, and heartfelt tales about hope, courage, and love.
