The Polar Express

Fantasy (fiction), Trade Book, Lexile 520

It's Christmas Eve, and a young boy gets a train ride to the North Pole on the Polar Express. While there, Santa gives him the first gift of Christmas-- a bell from his sleigh. But this is no ordinary bell. As the boy grows older, he notices that his friends, who had once been able to hear the bell ring, no longer can. But the boy, even in old age, can always hear the bell, as do all those who truly believe.
