A wooden duck Kris has made begins to show signs of magic. It squeaks when something is wrong and seems to know far more than any ordinary toy should. When a letter to Santa Claus begins an unexpected journey, Kris is drawn into a Christmas mystery far beyond his small village. Can a young toymaker and a determined wooden duck help uncover the truth before it is too late?
