Winter: Quest to Save Christmas!
Progress: 17 out of 25 books read
Golden Coins earned: 230


Novel Kingdom is a small kingdom on the edge of Lake Lexicon. It is ruled by the benevolent Queen Skye.

In the forest just outside Novel Kingdom lives a little very bad goblin. This little goblin only receives coal in his stocking due to his hi-jinks and tomfoolery. He decides that he wants to steal all the joy of Christmas from Novel Kingdom so everyone is just as grumpy. He sneaks up to the North Pole and sabotages Santa's whole operation!
