More about the book

It's a distant time of horse-drawn carriages and cheerful jingling sleds. It's also the year of the Christmas Full Moon; a rare moon which is rumored to bring about the most wonderful gifts! The 'Gift' however arrives in the rather frightening form of a ghost. With his bent top hat and torn black tuxedo, he looks like someone who had just risen from the grave; for this is a 'Testing Moon Trogg!' Here the eleven year old Azelda realizes that she's been chosen for the Trogg's mysterious test; she's to uncover the dark secret that her 'witchy' neighbor Viola holds inside.Azelda soon learns that people and things are not always as they seem. Indeed, Viola isn't so mean after all; for like a dark cloud that covers the warmth of the sun, she suffers from the painful secret of a broken heart. With her newly found understanding, Azelda heals Viola's heart with a loving kindness that she thought that she would never find again. The two become friends, as a most lovely and meaningful Christmas is had.
