THE MAGIC OF CHRISTMAS IS REAL. SO ARE ITS SECRETS.
Fifteen-year-old Winnie Pine stopped believing in Santa Claus a long time ago. Facts make sense. Numbers can be trusted. Christmas? Christmas has always been one more promise that never quite came true.
Then, on Christmas Eve, a shimmering blue doorway opens inside her grandmother’s closet.
Winnie steps through it and into the impossible.
Santa’s Toy Factory is real: an enormous hidden world of elves, living toys, strange creatures, impossible machines, and technology so advanced it looks like magic. And Winnie was never supposed to be there.
Someone has torn open the barrier between worlds. An eccentric elf inventor named Bumbler Hollybright has disappeared. And three unfinished toys named Shaggle, Boxer, and Sprout seem determined to protect Winnie, whether she wants their help or not.
While Winnie searches for answers inside the endless Toy Factory, Mrs. Claus is searching for her.
But the deeper they go, the stranger the mystery becomes. Someone has been breaking the rules of Christmas. Someone has been keeping secrets. And Winnie may not have stumbled into the Toy Factory by accident.
Because beneath the lights, laughter, and Christmas cheer lies something far more powerful than magic: a truth about why Winnie was brought there in the first place.
And getting home may mean facing the one thing she has spent years refusing to believe.
MRS. CLAUS: LOST IN THE TOY FACTORY is a funny, heartfelt science-fantasy Christmas adventure filled with mystery, living toys, hidden worlds, impossible technology, and the kind of Christmas magic that might make even the most determined skeptic believe again.
Book 13 of the Claus Universe. A complete standalone adventure with connections and Easter eggs for longtime readers.
Perfect for readers who love the imaginative Christmas worlds of The Christmasaurus by Tom Fletcher and A Boy Called Christmas by Matt Haig, with the sprawling hidden-world adventure and wonder of Nevermoor by Jessica Townsend.
Genre: Science Fiction
