Charlie Saves Christmas

Eridul, a land beyond our own, a magical place frozen in perpetual twilight and yearning to be set free from a struggle that has spanned generations.



Charlie, an eleven year old girl, unexpectedly finds herself pulled into this strange world from the safety of her own comfy bed and thrust to the center of a war for power and control that threatens to destroy all reality.



Charlie's absence in the real world is soon discovered by a devious building manager who contrives to tear Charlie's family apart. While her adoptive aunt hunts for her in futility through the dilapidated and dangerous public housing tower in which they live, Charlie deepens newly formed friendships with a heroic chipmunk, a nervous yellow finch, and a timid fruit bat while learning to confront her own sense of loss and vulnerability.



With time racing, Charlie must find a way to raise the legendary Stone Army to tip the balance of power and escape the clutches of the creatures that would use her to break the bonds between worlds.



Charlie Saves Christmas is a touching and multi-layered tale with meaning and heart woven in, told in a voice that is reminiscent of old world classics like the Chronicles of Narnia and the Wizard of Oz, Charlie Saves Christmas is nevertheless a modern novel with heart for all ages and all seasons.
