A magical, heart-warming mystery for the whole family! In the quiet, snow-dusted village of Evergreen Valley, the most wonderful time of the year has hit a snag: the color is fading, the bells have stopped ringing, and the cocoa has lost its sweetness. The Christmas Spirit is missing!

Join an unlikely team of heroes on a whimsical quest to save the holiday:

Rooney: A tiny, energetic "Spirit-Seeker" elf with oversized ears that twitch whenever magic is nearby. Barnaby: A large, fluffy snow-owl with a plaid scarf and a tendency to worry about everything.

Joy: A brave seven-year-old girl with a bright red coat and a heart big enough to melt the deepest blizzard.

From the Forest of Faded Tinsel to the mysterious Cave of Not-This-Year, Rooney and his friends must outsmart the "Grumble-Gnomes" and outrun the lonely "Scowl-Stalker." Along the way, they discover that the Spirit isn't something you find under a tree, it’s something you build through kindness, laughter, and song. Filled with sensory-rich descriptions, rhythmic language, and "read-aloud" humor, this 20-chapter adventure is perfect for children aged 2–10. It’s a story about finding light in the darkness and realizing that the most powerful magic in the world is the love we share with one another.
