Dracula & Santa Claus: Midnight on Candy Cane Lane, When Halloween Clashes With Christmas (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9798264176852)

It's a Christmas Eve like no other on Candy Cane Lane, but not in a good way. James and Maevry, two children with a knack for the unexplained, feel a growing sense of unease as the first snow falls . The cheerful decorations that give their street its name are pulsing with an unsettling energy, the wind whispers secrets, and the silence is deep and watchful .

Something ancient and dark has chosen this night to slip into their world. The festive lights blaze with an almost manic intensity, the candy canes appear to grow sharper, and the decorative reindeer seem to watch them with unnatural red eyes. Even the Christmas trees shudder as a swarm of shadowy bats bursts from their branches .

With their parents and the entire neighborhood under a mysterious spell, James and Maevry are the only ones awake to notice that their world is being twisted by a force they can't comprehend. As Dracula's power over the lane grows, the children must rally together, facing down an army of living decorations and a blizzard of black wings .

They're just kids with gingerbread weapons and peppermint shields, but they'll do whatever it takes to protect their home and find out what happened to Santa Claus before the longest night turns into eternal darkness .
