The Town Around The Christmas Tree: Jacob’s Message is book five of the Twisted Family Holiday series. It brings the series full circle with the heroine, Hailey Jade, and her cousin, Isaiah, having another Christmas adventure. This story takes the two out of their grandfather’s home, on a walk, and finding mayhem that needs to be addressed, before they can enjoy their Christmas Eve celebration.
While they wait to replicate the town beneath the Christmas tree they encounter an unnatural phenomenon, and then witness Harper having a grown-up conversation, but no one is present. They get spooked and think they’re in for another Christmas disaster. Enter Jacob who is the son of their grandfather’s girlfriend. And he has become Hailey’s BFF. Jacob arrived for the Christmas celebration, but without his mother, which seems weird but they carry on about their day while they wait for her to arrive.
After the town is put together exactly the way the six cousins remember, from the last year, Jacob invites Hailey to go for a walk. So the older kids—Hailey, Isaiah, Bubba and Jacob, go on an adventurous-walk that, again, teaches them to remember the magic and meaning of Christmas.
Whether it is experienced alone—or following the Town Beneath The Christmas Tree—The Town Around the Christmas Tree: Jacob’s Message is a great read for children and adults alike; and it’s destined to be a new classic Christmas tale.
A best selling holiday series for young adults.
“Whoa, did you feel that?” Isaiah asked. He quickly looked up from his cell phone and his body wiggled—like when you get an unexpected chill. The look of shock and fear on his face was one I had seen before. It was the same look as last year, when we first landed in the foreign-snow near the town beneath Grandpa’s Christmas tree. It’s a look you never forget. For those of you who don’t know, Isaiah is my fifteen-year-old cousin and the accidental leader of last year’s Christmas brigade—the one who helped us find our way through the landscape. Although not the one who brought us home.
“That was really freaky,” I replied, eyes open wide, shaken by the experience and Isaiah’s response. “It was like an earthquake, except the house didn’t move.” I grabbed my chest, trying to figure out how only our bodies shook; and how the air could ripple, like in movies when there’s some sort of time warp.
