Eve Saves Christmas

Some kids are on the Nice List. Eve isn't on any list at all. That's exactly why the world needs her.Fifteen-year-old Eve Donovan knows a truth about Santa's List that nobody else does: it was never a record of who's naughty or nice. It's a record of who is still remembered - and one child at a time, it's going dark.Three nights before Christmas, a snowy owl taps at her window and tells Eve why she's the only one who can help. She was left off the List last year. She already knows what it feels like to be forgotten. And that makes her the one person who can slip into the frozen country where forgotten children go - and steal Christmas back before it disappears for good.But the thing unmaking the List has a face Eve knows. It's waiting for her at the Heart of the world, wearing her late father's coat, offering the one trade that could save her little brother Max - whose name is already beginning to flicker out.To bring the List home, Eve will have to outwit a Frost Queen, cross the Ice Veil with a wisecracking elf and a very rude owl, and refuse the oldest, kindest-sounding lie there is: that to keep someone, you have to give someone up.Eve Saves Christmas: The Lost List is a heartfelt winter adventure about grief, wonder, and the fierce, ordinary magic of refusing to let the people we love fall off the list.For readers 9-13 who love snow-globe worlds, big-hearted quests, and holiday stories with real stakes - a one-sitting read for the whole family.
