Torch

Book Description

Phoebe and Jess, two sisters coping with the loss of their mother, find comfort and companionship in an unexpected place—a lonely dragon named Torch who lives in the basement of an old mansion once owned by their family. As their father returns to reconnect and care for them, Phoebe introduces him and Jess to Torch, rekindling a childhood bond and forming a new one. The family begins to heal, and after a joyful Christmas visit, they decide to move back into the mansion permanently, bringing warmth, laughter, and love back into Torch’s life. The story beautifully blends themes of grief, friendship, and renewal. Through magical realism and heartfelt moments, Phoebe’s journey shows how love and loyalty can bridge even the deepest loneliness. Torch, once forgotten, becomes a symbol of enduring connection—and the mansion, once eerie and abandoned, transforms into a true home.
