Every December, a strange old mansion appears on the hill outside town-and then vanishes again after Christmas Eve. When Nora and Jamie Wells are volunteered to help with their parents' charity event at Midnight Manor, they expect dusty rooms and boring chores. Instead, they find nutcracker soldiers that march on their own, portraits that whisper warnings, and a snowglobe that shows things that haven't happened...yet. The siblings soon learn the truth: centuries ago, a grief-stricken clockmaker cursed the house so that Christmas Eve can never truly arrive. Now the clocks are slipping, shadows are moving, and this might be the year the curse freezes the manor-and everyone inside it-forever. To save their family and the magical residents of Midnight Manor, Nora and Jamie must rebuild a broken Midnight Clock, track down three lost Christmas tokens, and face a ghost who would rather stay angry than say goodbye. Time is running out, snow is falling fast, and forgiveness might be the most powerful magic of all.
