AUDIENCE APPEAL: HIGH


On the night before Christmas Eve, Dasher can’t wait a moment longer to fly above the stars, so she follows the sound of carols. When she heads for home, she can’t see the North Star and gets lost, landing in the front yard of a little house with a lighted tree outside. The young person who lives there finds Dasher in the morning and gives what she needs to find her way home - just in time to help Santa with his yearly deliveries. 


Tavares’ second story about Dasher really hits the spot - especially for those who love Santa stories at Christmas time.
