Product Description
Everyone in town knows Emerald Crest, the green granite mansion atop the highest hill, and the legendary, lavish Christmas festivities that used to light up the nights--and the silence that followed when the parties abruptly stopped many years ago. And everyone has heard whispers about the reclusive, mysterious master of the manor, Henry Lafferty the Second.When eleven-year-old Julia Russell steps into the great house for the first time and meets Mr. Lafferty, the entire course of her life shifts. He's nothing at all like the rumors she's heard from neighbors and classmates. He's kind and extraordinarily talented--he also happens to be deaf and use a wheelchair. And when she overhears a secret about him, Julia decides it's time for the town to bring Christmas back to Emerald Crest--an act that will change them all forever.
Customer Reviews
With every Phyllis Nichols’ book I read, I become even more of a fan. In Silent Days, Holy Night, her third Christmas themed novel, Ms. Nichols proves again that she’s a storyteller deluxe. With just the right balance of dialogue and narration and a well-paced plot, this story held my interest from the beginning to the end. It was easy to identify with the book’s main narrator, Julia. Her inquisitive nature, sense of adventure, and love of learning get her into trouble but also endear her to the other characters and to the reader. Silent Days, Holy Night is a great personal read, but it begs to be read out loud with the whole family. Just have snacks at the ready because the yummy descriptions of meals, snacks, and tea times will make every reader hungry! Thankfully, two cookie recipes are included in the back of the book as a delightful bonus. I highly recommend this book for almost every age reader.
