ToyWorld: Home of the Christmas Thief

Description

Every toy has a tag. Some have a soul. Every December, Hiro’s parents rearrange the furniture. They make space in the corner for something tall, drape string lights haphazardly across the floor, and sometimes cut down a tree they do not know how to decorate. It is not just Hiro’s family. It is everyone. Come January, the living rooms are tidied up, and everything returns to normal. It happens every year. No one knows why. Something is missing, something they all feel, but no one ever wonders what. And with each passing year, the world grows colder, grayer, and a little less alive. No one remembers a jolly fat man, flying reindeer, or elves at the North Pole. In fact, no one in Hiro’s world remembers Christmas at all. Until Hiro has a dream. In that dream, there is a world of magic where he can taste sounds and hear thoughts. Where he can see things that defy all logic. Where trees are decorated and stockings hang above the fireplace. Every day is a celebration, each one filled with gifts. It is the last place where joy still exists. Hiro and others like him are the only ones who know where the Christmas spirit is hidden. It is up to them to find out who is taking it and why. They only have one chance. If they fail, Christmas will be lost forever. To succeed, they must uncover the thief’s true identity. And the truth is closer than they think. Whimsical, eerie, and unforgettable, ToyWorld: Home of the Christmas Thief is a mesmerizing holiday tale of forgotten memories, sentient toys, and the fragile thread between what we dream and what we believe. Perfect for fans of Coraline , A Wrinkle in Time , and The Polar Express . This Christmas, someone is stealing more than just presents.
