Pikesville Junction

Welcome to Pikesville Junction, PA, home of the world's largest Christmas tree. It's only accessible by train, surrounded by mountains, blocked off by a deserted wasteland, haunted by a monster and blessed by magic. And 11-year-old Ray Haley has just moved in.
It's 1958 – the year Ray met the first girl he ever liked, the best friends he ever had, and the smartest and fastest German Shepard who ever lived. Most of all, it's the year Ray found his lost father and discovered the magical secret of his family, The Tree and Pikesville Junction itself.
