A North Pole Adventure Story About a Brave Little Witchling Girl Who Saves ChristmasIt's November 1st, All Saints Day, the day AFTER Halloween. Since before the Dark Ages, the mysterious, magical Witches of Evernight Mountain have cleansed the world of imps, demons, and evil spirits before the start of the Christmas season. And having performed this sacred duty without fail for over a millennium, why would the 1000th All Hallows Eve Jubilee be any different from any other? When toy-making Elves move into the valley, strange polar winds begin to blow. Soon, the North Pole is not the same and nothing is what it seems. When something goes wrong on Evernight Mountain, it takes the courage of 8-year-old Witchling Tulalulalen Flue to set things right. Bullied by her peers and brothers all her life, brave Tulie Flue runs away with her shapeshifting spider kitten to stop a powerful, ancient evil spreading through the whole Arctic. Will Tulie find a way to keep the demon hordes from destroying her home, before they ruin Christmas? This new take on the Santa Claus origin story is a heartwarming winter's tale about the wonder of the holiday season, the magic of courage, and the bonds of true friendship. For ages 8 and up.
