The North Star Mission

On the night before Christmas, eleven-year-old Lucy Bell discovers a tiny silver mitten glowing beneath her bed. It belongs to Santa’s Secret Christmas Missions Team, a group of children who help deliver hope to kids who need it most. Lucy is invited to join when the team’s North Star compass goes missing—and without it, Santa cannot find the children waiting for a little Christmas magic. Alongside a fearless reindeer named Pepper, a gadget-loving elf, and a boy who knows every shortcut in the North Pole, Lucy races through snowy towns, moonlit forests, and bustling rooftops. Their missions include reuniting a lonely child with a lost family recipe, rescuing a broken music box, and bringing Christmas cheer to a hospital ward. But as Christmas Eve draws near, Lucy learns that the final mission is deeply personal: she must help a quiet girl who has stopped believing that anyone remembers her. Filled with sparkling magic, funny mishaps, heartfelt friendships, and thrilling twists, The North Star Mission is a warm Christmas story about discovering that even the smallest act of kindness can light up the darkest night.
