It's 1983, and all Andy Parker wants for Christmas is a Mr. T action figure. That shouldn't be so hard to find, right? A Different Kind of Christmas Story presents the small town of Daily, Mississippi, a fictional town from Ran Walker's literary universe, and introduces a community that has found its own joy in the season: Christmas pageants, parades, toys, and everything in between. Told in chapters of exactly 100-words, this is a different kind of Christmas story for readers of all ages.
