The lump of coal

"Perhaps miracles only happen to human beings... perhaps I should just bury myself and become a diamond after thousands of years of intense pressure."

This is the story of lump of coal hoping for a Christmas miracle told in Lemony Snicket's usual hilarious and slightly dark manner. The coal is brooding, grumpy and ultimately lovable, never have I felt such a connection with a lump of coal before. This book is short, but it packs a lot of punch per page. Offer this one to youngster who love to laugh. For grades K thru 3.
