A Cobtown Christmas: From the Diaries of Lucky Hart (Cobtown Stories) - Tapa dura

Anticipating Christmas 1845 and her singing performance before the townspeople of Cobtown, ten-year-old Lucky encounters such challenges as the arrival of a lost blind man, the breaking of the pump organ, and a sick dog.

Lucky Hart loves Christmas. She loves making garlands and wreaths, baking spice cookies, and deciding on just the right presents for her family and friends. This Christmas, Lucky is also excited about singing in front of all the people of Cobtown. But the festivities take an unexpected turn. A lost blind man, lonely and far from home, arrives speaking "gibberish" no one understands...the pump organ breaks...a sick dog is found and Lucky and Oinkey the pig tend to him.

Saddened by these events, Lucky wonders what kind of holiday it will be. Little does she suspect that the town's annual Christmas Eve party will bring a bounty of surprises to fill her heart--and the hearts of everyone in Cobtown--with the joy, magic, and music of the Christmas season.
