Eva has moved to a new street in a new town, and everything feels strange and different. Eva doesn't mind being alone because she already has a very special friend-Spark, her dragon. But perhaps Spark would like a dragon friend to play with? So Eva makes a special wish for a Hanukkah miracle. After the first night of Hanukkah, Eva meets Charlie, the boy from next door who has seen the Hanukkiah in Eva's window. Their friendship grows and Eva shares her Hanukkah traditions with him. Eva builds up the courage to tell Charlie about Spark. Charlie can't see the dragon at first, but soon Eva's Hanukkah wish begins to work its magic, in this celebration of the power of imagination by the bestselling author of A Dress With Pockets.
