A winter-solstice wish goes awry

In Inkwell, puppies Hocus and Pocus are looking forward to the town’s Winter Solstice party, where snow would make the celebrations even better. A visit to a sorcerer’s tent brings them a chance to wish for it—but the snow globe’s magic proves delicate, and soon snow and ice are more than the party bargained for. The story’s central mishap grows out of the puppies’ enthusiasm, while the townspeople’s “cozy charms” bring the gathering together around a shared problem. With spells, snowy play, and seasonal festivities at its core, the adventure pairs a magical mix-up with a community celebration.

Book overview

It's time for the town Winter Solstice party and puppies Hocus and Pocus are ready to help out with their own special magic! This sweet series continues with plenty of spells, friends, and snowy fun.

Everyone in Inkwell is excited for the Winter Solstice Party, including magical puppies Hocus and Pocus. Pocus wants to play in the snow, and Hocus wants to eat snowflakes! Finally, the longest night of the year arrives, and everybody turns out to celebrate with maple popcorn, hot cider, and enormous pumpkins (thanks to a plant warlock). The only thing missing is . . . snow! Without a fresh dusting, how can Hocus and Pocus's friends make snow sculptures and race snowflakes? The puppies notice a new striped tent at the edge of the party: Nimbus the Sorcerer! Handmade Wishes! Hocus and Pocus know just what to wish for. Nimbus pulls a magical snow globe from behind their back and warns the puppies to be careful--this is a very big, very delicate wish. Despite the sorcerer's warning, the snow (and ice!) soon gets out of control. Luckily, the citizens of Inkwell have a few cozy charms up their sleeves. This latest adventure glows with warmth and winter magic.
