I love the friendships Jim’s made in his new town and Christmas spent there was a special time for all. Except when they started having their stuff stolen and puzzling riddle notes started appearing. Some crazy person seemed to be orchestrating it all and when the showdown came, Jim and Ginger were victorious and saved the town’s Christmas tree on New Year’s. I’m pretty sure Jim’s ready for some peace and quiet by now!

Good reading for a young teen

The end of a year and Christmas cheers but not a riddle of happiness for the new.. .or maybe all will end well and the lost will be found?
