Description: "Siblings Josh and Jennifer are coping with the loss of their father, who disappeared in a float plane accident on Christmas Eve one year ago. While Josh scours the Internet for proof that his father is still alive, Jennifer rebels against his denial and their mother Marcia's efforts to return the family to normalcy. Whan Marcia insists that Josh and Jennifer spend Christmas Eve with relatives, the children instead set out for Stanley Park to honour their father's memory. Trapped by a catastrophic storm, the children are rescued by a Skookum Pete, a strange vagabond who takes them to a fantastical bunker beneath the Prospect Point cafe, where they experience wondrous visions that help them understand the truth about their father and the healing power of love." -- Cover.
