Mischief in Moonstone SeriesSomeone has kidnapped Rudolph. Not the legend: a real caribou, the most beloved animal in Moonstone, Wisconsin, gone from the live Nativity two weeks before Christmas, leaving thirteen heartbroken first-graders demanding answers. Their teacher, Crystal Hagan, follows the boot tracks across the snow to the mansion everyone calls the North Pole, where a recluse who once played Santa has just been joined by his estranged son. Peter LeBarron admits everything, refuses to hand the reindeer back, and names a ransom that has nothing to do with money. Crystal fights the way only Crystal can: a warm chocolate pudding cake at his door, a donkey delivered into his front hall, wanted fliers all over town. It becomes the strangest negotiation of her life, and the most dangerous thing inside that house is not the ransom.
