 Hey! So it’s that time again for the monthly book review! If you didn’t read last month’s book review, you can check it out HERE: https://misslilyjayne.blogspot.com/2024/11/november-2024-monthly-book-review.html 

The Candle in the Window

Written By: Margaret Hill McCarter

My Rating: 7 out of 10

My Description

Part of the Lamplighter Collection, this book is of a mailman telling some acquaintances about his favorite Christmas ever. It involves a school teacher who never seems to smile, a boy with a huge heart for others, and a blizzard that takes a miracle to survive. Tod, the mailman telling the story, gives a candle to each person on his delivery route hoping that they’ll put it in their window to give a little hope to those who need it. Later, Tod finds that he’s the one who needs to see that candle in the window. Can Tod’s simple gift give hope?

My Recommendation for Age Group: All ages

Fiction or Non-fiction? Fiction

Would I recommend this book to others? Yes! Especially in the Christmas season.

One thing I learned from this book: Hope can be found in things even as small as a candle in a window.

Definitely read this book if you haven’t before, it’s a quick read and a great Christmas book.

Merry Christmas!
