Résumé :
Three tales. One legacy. Endless wonder. In this gripping holiday collection, three young heroes uncover the truth behind a hidden world of toys, toymakers, and the mysterious force binding them all together. In Toyland: The Legacy of Wallace Noel, sisters Tin and Pip journey to a forgotten estate after their great aunt's passing. But when Tin puts on a strange green elf hat, she's pulled into a frozen realm where time twists and memory lingers. The house holds secrets of a legendary toymaker, enchanted artifacts, and a legacy no one was meant to remember. Gingerman: In Search of the Toymaker follows twelve-year-old Chris Blizzard as he arrives at the Institute of Creative Mind, a festive school with chilling secrets. Surveillance, vanishings, and the legend of Lord Pelznickel swirl into a mystery as Chris uncovers what the founder is truly seeking... and what happens when creativity becomes control. And in Toymaker: Return of the Lost Toys, tech-savvy Avery Tannenbaum receives a mysterious headset. When it activates during Christmas dinner, her world turns upside down. Buried in her grandmother's estate are blueprints, codes, and old toys with new agendas. The Hunt has begun. And Avery is its key. Filled with eerie adventure, magical realism, and the haunting question of what we leave behind, this volume is perfect for fans of A Series of Unfortunate Events, Coraline, and The Chronicles of Narnia. Enter the Claus Universe. The toys are waiting....
