Nutcracker: Journey to Candyland

Description

Some toys protect. Others remember. Marie and her little brother Fritz never expected much from Christmas. Not this year. Not in a half-abandoned building with their oddball aunt and clueless uncle. But everything changes when Fritz finds a nutcracker tucked behind a shelf. It’s not your ordinary holiday decoration. With bright green eyes and a strange ability to move when no one’s watching, the nutcracker becomes Fritz’s favorite thing. Marie isn’t so sure. Especially when Fritz starts talking to it. And when he claims it talks back. That’s when weird things start happening. Strange lights. Shifting rooms. Whispers of a world beyond their own. Soon, the siblings are pulled into an adventure like no other, where the rules of reality no longer apply. In a hidden realm known as Candyland, sweets come to life, time bends in curious ways, and a mysterious figure named Godfather waits. But something dark is stirring in the sugar-coated shadows, and the nutcracker may be more than a guide. He may be the key. In this reimagining of the holiday classic, Nutcracker: Journey to Candyland tells a story of grief, imagination, and the courage it takes to believe in joy again. Through cracked sidewalks and magical corridors, Marie and Fritz will discover that even broken things can hold the power to heal. Perfect for readers who love The Polar Express , A Series of Unfortunate Events , and classic fairy tales with a twist. Joy isn’t gone. It’s just hiding.
