About this title

Synopsis

Anticipating Christmas 1845 and her singing performance before the townspeople of Cobtown, ten-year-old Lucky encounters such challenges as the arrival of a lost blind man, the breaking of the pump organ, and a sick dog.

About the Author

Julia and Robert Van Nutt have been working together for twenty-five years. During this time, they have worked on numerous design jobs, from freelancing for The New York Times to working on sets and costumes for a Broadway play. In the last ten years, they have designed eight children’s books and six animated videos that were shown on national television.


The Van Nutts use history to guide them as they write and illustrate their Cobtown stories. With an amazing cast of characters and an in-depth study of everyday life in the 1840s, these stories–inspired by a hobby of collecting electric trains–take place in the village of Cobtown.
