Snow days, holiday breaks and long car rides are made for a good book. These are our winter and holiday adventures. Every one is a complete story, and each comes as a paperback that fits in a stocking.
Three holiday stories, from funny to nail-biting.
Everyone in Spawnbury thinks Nolan Tibbs just got here. He has lived there his whole life.
Nolan is the only kid in town who still wears the Starter Look: plain shirt, plain pants and brown hair in three flat strips that folks call bacon hair. His family runs the Welcome Hut beside the Spawn Pad.
Crack the terminals. Dodge the Chiller. Go back for your friends before the frost reaches the top.
A Christmas update drops a brand-new map: the Sleigh Hangar, with a giant red sleigh and a row of frost pods that glow cold blue. At midnight on Christmas Eve, it disappears.
The game room closes forever at the Ding. The power keeps going out. And the seeker is now a jar of jam.
Kenta Ward has never been found in a Showdown. Twelve times, Sol Benítez, the best seeker on Quince Street, has hunted him, and twelve times the clock has won. Tonight is a snow day and the last night of a winter event in the Roblox game Hide and Seek Extreme.
Snow, ice and a mystery or two, no holiday required.
Every gift on the mountain has turned to snow, and the whole town says the snow golem did it.
On the morning before Gift Eve, the twelve gift chests at the Whitecap Market Hall should be full of presents. Instead, eleven hold a single snowball each, and a trail of snow runs straight to Sergeant Snowbank, the snow golem who guards the door.
One giant ox. One icy bridge. Three black banners waiting in the dark.
It's update day, and a brand-new zone called Shiver Ridge has opened. Its guardian, Big Shaggy, is a musk ox the size of a hill, and he can out-run anyone who carries his egg. Even the server's fastest player.
My horse thinks she's a snowplow. The snow doesn't agree. Neither do the things that come out of it at night.
Snow never falls on Sunny Meadow Ranch, so ten-year-old Tansy Mayfield and Peony, her very dramatic white mare, have never seen any. Then a letter comes from the snow country. An old friend of Grandpa's has broken her leg, and her three animals are alone with two days of hay.
Set on the shortest day of the year, for readers 10 to 14 who like a real chill.
On the shortest day of the year, Sumi Okada hears her little sister call her name from the dark mountain road. Once. But Koto is at home in the bath.
In the mountain village of Yugure, every child knows the rule: never answer the first call at dusk. A real person always calls twice. The next morning, Koto cannot sing. On the second dusk, Koto hears Sumi's voice calling from the terraces, and she answers.
Three of them are: Bacon Hair Saves the Holidays, Flee the Sleigh Hangar and Tiny Enough to Hide in a Stocking. The others are snowy winter adventures with no holiday needed.
No. Every book is a complete adventure, even when it's book 2 of a series.
