Jack wants this to be the BEST Christmas ever and in his zeal to trim his family’s tree in the grandest way possible, he breaks an ornament. It’s not just any ornament. It’s a very special (irreplaceable) family heirloom. While picking up the pieces of the broken ornament, a quirky magical creature named Tinsel appears. She deftly grants Jack’s wishes for the best, most over-the-top Christmas ever. Jack revels in the otherworldly winter wonderland that’s suddenly sprung up in his living room but still lingering is the feeling that he needs to somehow fix his mother’s broken ornament. Tinsel can’t fix the problem, but she does nudge Jack toward a solution in her magical way. Tony DiTerlizzi’s art shines in this heartfelt story for the holiday season.
