Dusty Milligan's Christmas Adventures

Dusty Milligan, like most boys his age, is always ready for an adventure, especially around Christmas break. The area around his family's farm is the setting for these fun-filled and thoughtful stories. Dusty, his sister Lucy, his friend Ned, and many other interesting characters find themselves in challenging situations and learn some important lessons. Join Dusty as he babysits a family of goats, camps in the snow, loses his way on a long hike, learns how to respond when everything goes wrong, and helps an elderly shut-in find Christmas cheer. These and other stories are written in a humorous and touching style that will keep families entertained and reflecting on special Christmas memories.
