Christmas Town: Christmas Town Series Book 1 - Paperback

by Brian Hunter (Author)

Who could have known that the disregarded and ignored boy with a bad haircut, dressed in old clothes, eating a donut in the back alleyway, would become the town's hero?

Christmas Town, Book 1 of the Christmas Town Series, is the correct place to start your incredible life-changing journey. Book 1 describes how it all began. It is the initial story of how the impoverished and bullied boy became the town hero.

The Christmas Town Series is a beautiful, heartwarming, coming-of-age story of a boy who goes from being impoverished and bullied, to a young man who becomes a celebrated town hero and business prodigy. His heart is always in the right place, and he does everything for the right reasons.

We follow the main character's life journey, as he navigates serious real-world challenges. The Christmas Town Series is not only a year-round celebration of Christmas, but it is a character study in compassion, decency, and integrity. It is about young people taking responsibility for their own actions and for the future of their community. It is also about the very deep and meaningful relationships which develop between our main character and various adults who surround him. Christmas Town comes to us from the same author who wrote the epic 40+book mega-series, Living A Meaningful Life.

How to Read This Series:

• A Continuous Serial: Like a sweeping TV drama, each installment builds directly upon the last. Starting with Book 1 is essential.
• The Evolution: Books 1 and 2 are classic, heartwarming holiday novels for 'general audiences.' Beginning with Book 3, the story matures into a realistic teen romance, showcasing a healthy, respectful relationship. Some might consider Books 3 and above to be "PG-13," and parental guidance is suggested.
