Ruby and the Longest Night

Ruby and the Longest Night
The Moonshinehollow Chronicles

By Amanda Lowe

One little ember. One little light. Can they bring warmth to the longest night?

Deep within the snow-covered forests of Everlight Pines, where frost sparkles on the branches and magical lanterns illuminate the woodland paths, a very special celebration is about to begin.

It's Yule, the longest night of the year, and Ruby Emberglow can't wait for the magical winter festival!

Every year, the magnificent Everlight shines brightly, filling the forest with warmth, hope and happiness. But this year, something is terribly wrong.

The Everlight is fading.

As its golden glow begins to disappear, Ruby is determined to save the celebration. With her magical powers and her faithful little hedgehog, Bramble, by her side, she sets out to restore the light before the forest is plunged into darkness.

But no matter how hard Ruby tries, her magic simply isn't strong enough.

Or is she looking for the wrong kind of magic?

As Bramble leads her through the snowy forest, Ruby begins to discover something extraordinary. All around her, tiny flames are flickering, each one small and seemingly insignificant, yet together they hold a wonderful secret.

Could the smallest lights be the ones that matter most?

Ruby and the Longest Night is a beautifully illustrated, heartwarming winter adventure about friendship, kindness, community and discovering that even the smallest contribution can make an extraordinary difference.

Inspired by the magic and traditions of Yule and the winter solstice, this enchanting story gently introduces young readers to the beauty of the changing seasons, the importance of helping one another and the wonderful things that can happen when everyone comes together.

Perfect for children aged 6-8, this magical tale is ideal for cosy winter bedtime reading, family storytelling and young readers who love witches, woodland animals and enchanting adventures.

But there's even more magic waiting to be discovered!

Look carefully through the illustrations for hidden secrets, magical clues and two very special visitors, Maisie and Loki!

And when the story ends, the adventure continues at www.visitmoonshinehollow.com, an interactive magical world where children can explore the eight enchanted realms, discover secret portals, enjoy seasonal activities and continue their adventures with the witches of Moonshinehollow.

Part of The Moonshinehollow Chronicles, an enchanting children's book series by Amanda Lowe, celebrating nature, friendship, courage and the magic that lives within us all.

Because sometimes the brightest magic comes from the smallest light.

One little ember, one little light,
Can warm even the longest night.
