The Light of Christmas by Richard Paul Evans
“High in the mountains, where the clouds lie on the ground like great cotton balls, is the Christmas town of Noel.”
Alexander’s mom is sick so he must travel to the lighting of the flame alone hoping he is chosen by the Keeper of the Flame as the new person to light the torch, the person who gives “the truest gift of Christmas.”
But Alexander meets an old man in need of help outside the city gates, he risks getting shut out and missing the lighting of the torch.
