The pandemic is over. Life could not be better. But when Uncle Woodrow told Fletcher McKenzie the story of Mollyockett, he unfortunately overlooked the powerful Curse of Snow Falls -- a curse that Fletcher now has to deal with. As Maine recovered from the pandemic, a series of bizarre events took place, including the disappearance of several innocent people. Fletcher and Uncle Woodrow are shocked when they determine that these horrific events had been caused by Tomhegan, Mollyockett's evil brother, as part of his effort to eliminate the entire McKenzie family and take control of the secret passage to a spectacular world called Whole. Tomhegan and his evil associates transformed these victims into violent moose-like warriors. They became a savage army of Slaughter Makers, ready for an attack on Whole. Fletcher and Mollyockett bring in others to help and there is a mighty confrontation between the two sides inside Whole. What happens next is truly spectacular. "Fletcher McKenzie and the Curse of Snow Falls" was written with the help of students in the Author Studies Program at the Farwell Elementary School (Lewiston, Maine) and published with the support of the Stephen and Tabitha King Foundation.
