'Master toymaker Gustav VonGobstopper announces plans to build a special Toy Arcade - brimming with the world's greatest toys - to commemorate the extraordinary bravery of Drabville's children who have twice escaped the clutches of the wicked Lord Aldor.
'The children couldn't be more excited. But when Milli and Ernest encounter Theo, the bandana-wearing teddy, deranged designer Tempest Anomalie and the immoral Botchers at the Arcade, it quickly becomes apparent that they have stumbled upon a macabre plot. Could this be the work of the evil Aldor - a malicious master plan designed to extinguish the very existence of childhood?
'As Christmas Eve draws close, Milli and Ernest find themselves enlisted as Santa's helpers, for a Christmas spectacle that will be like no other ... But can they protect the town before catastrophe strikes?' (Publisher's blurb)
