Welcome to Port Fortune, a town full of secrets. Fourteen-year-old Mo Stoll is struggling with a fractured family, difficult friends, a learning disability, but, most of all, she’s dreading Christmas, her least favorite holiday. Mo stumbles upon an unusual visitor, a wise-cracking entity named Gef, who may be a talking mongoose. Told through a series of letters that Mo writes to her former teacher, a magical and messy world unfolds with humor, mystery, and wonder --just in time for the holidays. “It’s so good to be back in Port Fortune. What great characters and engaging explorations of hearts, minds, and strange events. This is the perfect Christmas story. Dickens would be proud. All thumbs up!” --Reader This is the second installment in the Port Fortune Series. Each book stands alone.
