SYNOPSIS - The Christmas of 1884 on Cobblestone Island is indeed memorable! All nine Children of the Light take part in a festive Christmas program that brings many surprises. A new auditorium is constructed on the island just for the big event. However, disasters in rehearsals leading up to the main event nearly cause the cancellation of the Christmas service itself. Two trouble-making boys pulling pranks, costume and prop disasters, and animals on the stage create chaos beyond belief. Throughout the problems and challenges, a wondrous occurrence takes place during the service that creates the greatest surprise of all!  
 
Several unexplained mysteries develop as events unfold. What is the shadowy sighting from atop Cobblestone Lighthouse that comes and goes upon the distant waters of the frozen lake? Why is there a dark underground tunnel leading from Cottage Parakaleó to the old lighthouse, and what decorates its dirt walls? Where is the missing red garnet, ruby, and tourmaline jewelry? In the end, Madelaine’s kindness and Gabriel’s goodness, two Fruit of the Spirit, shine through the complications and revelations. This fourth book in the Children of the Light series will make readers smile. At times humorous, but at its heart and core respectful and reverent, the story encourages readers to reflect on what a Christ-centered Christmas celebration is all about.
