Wow, this story was as good as the first one-The Christmas Tin I, most definitely! I really like how the author inserted stories within the story. All in all, I think the message was that although sometimes in life, we have crisis, it may not seem what it really is. There is always hope and faith to get us through, and things work out for the best. This was a wonderful Christmas read, and how I wish there was a book III, because I really enjoyed these two book! I highly recommend this book!
