Nine-year-old New York City twins Emma and Simon visit their grandmother for a sleepover and shake a snow globe from her collection. Immediately, they are transported back to Coney Island in 1928, right in front of the world-famous Cyclone roller coaster. When the twins come face-to-face with their great-grandparents, they realize their challenge is to make sure their great-grandparents meet on the Coney Island trolley, as they are supposed to according to family legend. Otherwise the twins may never be born.

Praise for The Enchanted Snow Globe Collection: Return to Coney Island

“Return to Coney Island is an imaginative story that will transport readers to the historical Coney Island with its young protagonists. Melissa Stoller’s juvenile fantasy Return to Coney Island entertainingly combines family stories, a recipe for apple crisp, and a very special snow globe for an appealing first installment to a new series.” – Foreword Reviews

“The characters and setting are the heart of the enjoyable story . . . The book includes discussion questions, a recipe for apple crisp (integral to the story), and a craft project, all of which enhance the tale.” – Kirkus Indie Review
