About Rip Van Winkle and the Pumpkin Lantern (Unabridged)

Young Rip Van Winkle never shies away from adventure, but when he sneaks into a graveyard, he finds himself at the center of an unimaginable dilemma. The ghost of Boston's first settler reveals disturbing news about the fate of the city he so loves and tasks him with saving the city. But before the harrowing quest begins, the young would-be hero finds himself the target of not one, but two active threats. If he can outsmart and outrun a vengeful witch and the undead corpse who will stop at nothing to capture him, he'll next have to reconcile his own feelings about his place in this desperate battle. With a secretive preacher, a know-it-all raven, and a magical lantern at his side, Rip knows it's only a matter of time before his journey will come to a tragic end...unless he learns to trust his instincts and trust those around him. From the best-selling, award-winning author Seth Adam Smith comes Rip Van Winkle and the Pumpkin Lantern , a fantasy novel influenced by the writings of Nathanial Hawthorne, Lloyd Alexander, and C. S. Lewis. Loaded with humor, action, suspense, and fascinating American history, this is a poignant fable about faith, family, and the power of life over death.
