The Dangerous Christmas Ornament - Paperback

by Bob Siegel (Author)

He's just a kid. When an unusual gift gives him the power to grant his wishes, his imagination is the limit. However, he soon finds out that not every wish turns out as expected.

Mike is twelve and he's about to embark on the adventure of a lifetime. When his eccentric aunt gives him a Christmas ornament as a present, his life takes a magical turn. Now, he can wish for anything that he wants and it will come true.

So, like any preteen, he makes his veggies disappear, talks to his cat, and creates a copy of himself to double for him and do his chores. But, what he can't foresee are the unexpected consequences of his wishes. This sets up a chain reaction of trouble and adventure as Mike discovers that every granted wish causes something bad to happen to someone else.

The Dangerous Christmas Ornament is a beautifully written Christmas fantasy story full of adventure and magic while tackling themes like personal responsibility, the consequences of our choices, and what it is like to be an inquisitive kid trying to be his best. It's perfect for fans of the Chronicles of Narnia, The Hobbit, Harry Potter, Chuck Palahniuk, Gene Shepherd, and R.L. Stine.
