Image: https://www.aionewswire.com/storage/images/ckeditor//717Bk6NLNwL._SL1500__1764614707.jpg
Originally published in 1995, The Special Guest sold more than 150,000 copies and became a seasonal favorite prior to the rise of online retail. Set in Richmond, Virginia, it follows sixteen-year-old Scott Reid, whose decision to help a stranded traveler leads to a series of events centered on forgiveness and renewal. The 30th Anniversary Edition [https://www.amazon.com/Special-Guest-Christmas-Story/dp/1662964757] expands the original story by about fifty percent, offering additional scenes and updated illustrations for a new generation of readers.
The sequel, Legend of the Wooden Star, continues the story three decades later. It focuses on Hunter Reid, the grandson of the first book's main character, and his friendship with Joey, a young leukemia patient. A wooden star and a mysterious nighttime visitor connect their experiences to the first Christmas story. Together, the two books explore compassion, faith, and the lasting meaning of the holiday.
Through the partnership with Operation Christmas Child, the authors aim to align the message of their books with an established effort that encourages giving and community involvement during the Christmas season.
