Join the Adventure Five in their most challenging Christmas mystery yet When Alex, Emma, Ben, Sophie, and Jack arrive in the picturesque mountain town of Christmas Creek for the holidays, they expect nothing more exciting than hot chocolate and the famous "Night of the Thousand Lights" celebration. But when the town's priceless golden Christmas Star mysteriously vanishes and anonymous letters begin turning neighbors against each other, the five friends discover they're facing their most sophisticated adversaries yet.

Set in December 1984, this thrilling addition to the beloved Adventure Five series combines classic British children's adventure storytelling with authentic Christmas magic.

"The Riddle of the Christmas Star" delivers edge-of-your-seat excitement while celebrating the true meaning of Christmas, the courage ordinary people find when they work together to protect what they treasure most.

With 20 action-packed chapters, authentic 1980s atmosphere, and the series' signature blend of realistic detection and heartwarming community spirit, this Christmas adventure proves that the greatest magic happens when children dare to stand up for what's right.
