Hope in the Nick of Time

By Deedee Cummings

Nick Saint is back, and this time he's in New York City

But from slushy snow to spilled gelato, nothing is going right.

Frustrated and overwhelmed, Nick just wants to go home.

Then a surprise encounter helps him rediscover the power of hope.

In Hope in the Nick of Time, Nick learns about "hoping skills" - ways to see the good, even when things feel bad. With a little perspective and a lot of heart, Nick begins to see the city through new eyes and finds that small acts of kindness add up to make a difference.

This warm and timely tale reminds readers that hope is all around us - and when we struggle to find hope, it may be because we're meant to be it.

After all, you never know, Santa might just be watching.
