Peace on Earth, Goodwill to Menā€¦and Gingerbread Men?!

After his harsh beginnings as a rough-and-tumble orphan on the streets of Victorian London, Jake Everton, the twelve-year-old Lord Griffon, takes his rightful place as the long-lost heir of an aristocratic family with magical powersā€”his personal quest, to follow in his slain parentsā€™ footsteps as a Lightrider in the age-old battle of good versus evil. In the fantastical nooks and crannies of the Victorian Age, Jake and his friends (including his pet Gryphon) find no shortage of adventureā€”righting magic-related wrongs, solving supernatural mysteries, and exploring wondrous new worlds. Now itā€™s Jakeā€™s first Christmas with his eccentric magical relativesā€¦but trouble never takes a holiday.

Santaā€™s Horrid Little Helper

Humbug hates being a Christmas elf. Instead of making toys, heā€™d rather make mischief. Angling for a new job in Halloween Town, he sets out to prove heā€™s frightful enough for the post by ruining Christmas for as many people as possibleā€”until Jake and his friends manage to capture the little troublemaker, determined to put a stop to his devious schemes.

When the kids find out that Santa is offering a reward of ā€˜One Christmas Wish Grantedā€™ for the safe return of his runaway elf, the gang sets out on a rip-roaring, snowbound adventure to the North Pole to hand Humbug over and collect the bounty. But the way is fraught with danger, leaving Jake and his pals to wonder if theyā€™ll make it home in time for Christmasā€”or if theyā€™ll even make it back alive!
