The Christmas Wishing Tree Arthur James Tourot

"Eleven-year-old Nathan Mackenzie thinks that all is as wonderful as can be as he celebrates Christmas Eve with Mother and Father. What could possibly go wrong? Then, suddenly, his beloved Grandfather has a serious accident and everything is thrown into turmoil! While his parents rush off to help, Nathan is left at home to fend for himself. As sadness and fear threaten to take over, Nathan recalls his Mother telling him the old family legend that speaks of a magical Christmas Angel that can come to the aid of those who are in great need on Christmas Eve. Will he ask the Angel for help or is it just an old wives' tale that should be ignored?
What happens next will change Nathan's young life forever as he is brought into a magical world that resides in his very own Christmas tree and goes on a quest to save his Grandfather. Talking frogs? An elevator in the trunk of the tree? People living inside Christmas tree ornaments? Ghost-children that pop up out of nowhere? Yet, not all is as merry and bright as it seems. The man who lives in the shadows watches, and waits for his moment to strike and to take back something that was once his. What is it that the man wants? Will Nathan's chances of meeting the Angel and making his wish be ruined? Come along on the most wondrous of Christmas journeys and experience all the magic and wonder for yourself!"
