Xmas Wipeout — Isabel Micheals

This was supposed to be the most magical Christmas ever at Ho, Ho, Ho Academy. But everything changed when Santa vanished and an ancient evil consumed Jack, threatening to extinguish his light forever. Now it's up to me, Gracie, and my friends to unravel this dark mystery and save Christmas before it's too late.

 When my Soul Scrying reveals Jack trapped in the terrifying Netherworld, I know I have to save him. With cryptic clues pointing to a hidden Temple of Shadows, I lead my friends on a daring rescue mission into the dark realm. Surviving the perilous journey is just the beginning of our challenges.

 Within the living fortress, we find only deceit and corrupted creatures hungry to destroy us. Each step plunges us deeper into mortal danger, even as hope of saving Jack and Christmas itself begins to fade. Our only chance lies in deciphering ominous warnings to unlock the Sun Scepter's power.

 But the ancient evil has already sunk its claws into Jack, threatening to consume him. To have any hope of reaching him, I'll have to summon every bit of courage, wisdom and power within me - and accept the possibility of paying the ultimate price.

 In the end, saving Christmas may come down to how far I'm willing to go to protect those I love. With enchantment and excitement around every turn, this thrilling adventure captures the true spirit of the holiday season. The question is, can my friends and I triumph against impossible odds to bring light back to this darkness? Or will the looming shadows rise to smother Christmas forever?
