She explains that she needs Kit's help in keeping the tree from dying. Together they forge three magical tools--a dainty trowel, tiny shears, and a beautiful pitcher.That night, Kit has a strange dream, and wakes to find the magical tools are gone. How will Kit keep the angel's tree alive?The young boy's troubles are just beginning. He soon encounters a mysterious stranger, and has to face the wrath of Grimshaw and a raging fire. In the end, Kit learns the meaning of the angel's words, "Even in the deepest darkness, there is a silver thread of hope."
