WELCOME TO A WORLD WHERE CHRISTMAS IS MISSING... AND NO ONE CARES.
Every December, Hiro's parents rearrange the furniture. They leave an empty corner, drape string lights like they've lost a bet, and sometimes drag home a tree they have no idea what to do with. Come January, it all vanishes. Order is restored. Life goes on.
It isn't just Hiro's family. It's everyone.
No one knows why. No one even asks. Something is missing, a hollow space they all feel but can't explain. The world grows colder, grayer, and less alive each year. And the strangest part? Nobody remembers Christmas. No fat man in red. No flying reindeer. No elves. It's as if the holiday never existed.
Until Hiro dreams.
In that dream, he tastes sounds, hears thoughts, and wanders through a place bursting with color, music, and gifts. Stockings hang. Trees shimmer. Every day is a celebration. And joy still exists. Real joy.
It's not a dream. It's a clue.
Hiro and others like him are the only ones who remember where the Christmas spirit hides. To find it, they must uncover the thief stealing joy from the world. One chance. No do-overs. If they fail, Christmas is gone for good.
And the thief's identity? It's closer than they think.
ToyWorld: Home of the Christmas Thief is whimsical, eerie, and unforgettable-a holiday adventure of forgotten memories, sentient toys, and the fragile thread between dreams and belief. Perfect for fans of Coraline, A Wrinkle in Time, and The Polar Express.
