Christmas Eve is only hours away when the giant Star of Bethlehem suddenly disappears from the top of Bethlehem Hills' enormous Christmas tree.
Nine-year-old Lily, ten-year-old Marcus, and eight-year-old Sophie aren't willing to let the town's Christmas celebration fall apart. Following a trail of glittering clues through snowy streets, they discover mysterious footprints, a puzzling Bible message, and a trail leading all the way to the basement of Bethlehem Hills Community Church.
But finding the missing star is only the beginning. The children must discover why it was taken-and where it truly belongs.
Filled with Christmas wonder, friendship, mystery, adventure, and a heartfelt Christian message, The Christmas Star That Went Missing encourages young readers to look beyond the decorations and remember the greatest gift of all: Jesus.
Perfect for children ages 6-10, this heartwarming Christmas story is an engaging read for families, Sunday school classrooms, Christian schools, church libraries, and bedtime reading.
Follow the clues. Follow the light. Discover where the Christmas star truly belongs.
