Penelope Grace and the Winter Carousel (Book One of The Chronicles of Wonder)

A whimsical fantasy tale about a grieving family, facing loss during the holidays, and finding the courage to fight for wonder.

In a home nestled on a quiet, cobblestone street, a young girl is holding tightly to wonder.

Penelope Grace is looking out the window, breathing in the stillness of snow falling. Christmas is coming, and as she lovingly places each candle on the windowsills, warmth and light transform her family's home. All is quiet and good, as it should be.

But as the holiday approaches, Penelope learns how easily circumstance can mock joy. A nameless shadow is haunting her family, and there seems to be no hope of defending them against his relentless attacks.

Still, Penelope Grace is not content to stand by and do nothing, and so, on a cold winter's night, she finds herself chasing an unexpected friend through the softly falling snow.

But which will prove stronger?

Shadow or Light? Despair or wonder?

Follow her now through an ice-laden forest, down a worn, frozen path, to a winter carousel covered in snow, and we'll join the battle for wonder together.
