"There's a legend for children who are sad and who cry,

“There’s a legend for children who are sad and who cry,” and it’s written by Sean March. He will make unhappy children smile again when they read Little Wade and Watchtower. It’s a delightful, exceptional story that contains its fair share of sadness, but lots of humor too. The setting is in New York, 1899 with an old-world charm infused with magic, and lots of interesting action. The characters are amazing, even the creepy ones. Abigail is sweet and very smart.
