It never snows in Sleepy Hollow. Harry Moon is already 13, and it has never snowed in his lifetime. So when he wakes up, trying to prepare himself mentally for his algebra test, he can't believe it when he finally looks outside and sees enough snow to bring the whole town to a halt. No school! No algebra test! Just snowballs and sledding, all day long! 

Harry isn't the only one who is excited. His 10-year-old sister Honey is ready to go out and get snowy, and Harry's best friends Hao, Declan, and Riley are all also ready to get out in the snow and have some fun. 

But not everyone is happy with the snow. In fact, the whole snowstorm was a huge mistake. Mayor Kilgore uses a magic incantation every night to keep Sleepy Hollow at a regulated temperature, and when a smuggled kitten activated the Mayor's allergies the night before, he wasn't able to stop the snow from coming. But he could send out his two sons and his two evil henchmen, dressed up as creepy snowmen, to try to put a stop to all the kids' fun. 

When Harry and his friends find out that the creepy snowmen are terrorizing the kids of the town, they know they need to do something. Harry is tempted to bring out his magic wand and use his developing powers to stop the snowmen, but his mentors encourage him to think very carefully before he acts. But he and his friends want to do something to stop the evil they feel is taking over their town. It is up to Harry to decide how he'll fight to get his town back. 

Harry Moon Snow Day is a charming story of good verses evil, with lots of hot chocolate and sledding thrown in for good measure. Even though Harry is a young magician, learning when it's a good idea to use his powers and when not to, the lessons he learns are universal and could be translated to any spiritual construct where you want to teach children how to be smart and compassionate in their choices. It's a lovely story, and author Mark Andrew Poe underlines it with lessons in love.
