Eerie Indiana Rocks

Eerie, Indiana was a wonderful show, and they did a fabulous job of writing a book series on it. The books are written so that even teens like me can enjoy them. Anyway, "Have Yourself an Eerie Little Christmas" is volume 5 of the Eerie book series.Marshall makes a wish that it would snow for once, after shaking a strange snowglobe. The next morning, when they wake up, it's snowing...

The Christmas Eve Curse

It's two days before Christmas in Eerie, Indiana, and everybody's rushing to finish their last-minute shopping, including two friends: Marshall "Mars" Teller and Simon Holmes. They stop in at an odds-and-ends store called World of Stuff where Marshall finds a snow globe for his mother.Later that night, while the two boys are getting ready for bed, Marshall makes an offhand wish for it to snow in Eerie like it does in the snow globe. The next morning, Marshall and Simon awake to a snow storm--and an 80-year-old curse that repeats the same day (December 24, 1917) over and over again. Only Marshall and Simon are aware of the repeated pattern and immediately search out the root of the curse, which originates at a mysterious house that looks exactly like the one in the snow globe."Have Yourself An Eerie Little Christmas" is the fifth book in the Eerie Indiana series, which is based on the same-named TV show ("Eerie, Indiana") that aired back in the early 90s. If you liked the show, you'll probably enjoy the books as well. If you've never heard of this series before (book or TV), I'd highly recommend you watch the reruns and read the books, especially if you'd like a junior approach to The X-Files.
