Magic in the Air

About the Book

Christmas is magical. Of that, there is no doubt. But for Cindy and her younger brother, Bobby, Christmas magic becomes more than just a state of mind when a distant relative, their great-aunt Tillie, visits. Far from interrupting their traditional Christmas, “Auntie” brings a whole new spirit of adventure and discovery into Cindy’s and Bobby’s lives.

   From that Christmas on, the two children encounter a series of exciting visitors, from a family ghost who is deathly afraid of being seen to a snow sprite who has lost the ability to make snow and a wandering elf in search of his true calling. Cindy and Bobby prove they are not only ready for anything, but also are ready to to offer a helping hand. And in the process, they discover the magic that occurs when people reach out.
