The Wishing Star

By: Paul, Erik

In a quiet mountain town, people had become so busy with their own lives that Christmas no longer felt the way it used to. The lights were dimmer, the songs had faded, and even the laughter seemed to have disappeared.

But Holly's mother tells her a story about the Wishing Star, a magical star said to appear above the highest peak on the longest night of the year and grant a wish to someone brave and kind enough to reach it.

Determined to bring the magic of Christmas back to her town, Holly sets out toward the mountain.

But the path is long, the storm is growing, and reaching the highest peak will take more courage than Holly imagined.

Will Holly find the Wishing Star before the night is over?

And if she does, will it truly grant her wish, or is it just a beautiful legend?
