Overview

A warm and engaging fantasy for young readers and the entire family to read together during the holiday season. The mood inside the Natale household on Christmas Eve is as chilly as the snowstorm waging outside. Instead of their long-awaited vacation luxuriating on the warm sands of a tropical beach, the three disappointed children huddle under blankets as they sadly and mindlessly scroll through social media. Just when they think things couldn't get any worse, a power outage casts them into darkness. Forced to gather by the fire and create their own holiday story, their imaginations bring them to the North Pole on a mission for Santa Claus where they decipher clues and solve puzzles in a world of mythical, magical creatures and, ultimately, rediscover the Christmas spirit within themselves.

""[A] quiet meditation on the transformative power of imagination and how stories can reach the parts of us that words often can't."" -Suzie Housley of Midwest Book Review ""[A] book that shines most in its subtle but powerful message: that the true spirit of Christmas lies not in picture-perfect plans or warm-weather escapes but in shared experiences-even (or especially) the chaotic, unplanned ones."" -John M. Murray of Foreword Reviews
