Book 12 Lost Christmas by David Logan

'He had changed. He didn't know how exactly, but how could it not have changed him. He had discovered that the world was more incredible, strange and unexpected than he could ever have imagined. He couldn't wait to see what the rest of his life had in store for him.'
