"For as long as Jessie could remember, New Year's Eve meant staying at Grandma's house and the long, slow climb to the top of Lovell's Hill, where the trees parted and the sky opened and there stood the old iron bell... But this year, everything is different. Grandma has set her house on fire, and when Jessie snowshoes her way up to Lovell's Hill, she finds that the bell is ... missing. Who would steal the New Year's bell, and how can Jessie and Evan get it back?" -- dust jacket.
