Bah humbug!

It's four days before Christmas, but Penelope Standing isn't feeling very festive. Her son is halfway around the world, her gift for Jake isn't finished, and she's still trying to figure out how to decorate the house without Brutus, their mastiff, eating Santa and the reindeer. To top it all off, someone is stealing neighborhood holiday ornaments.

But nothing gets Penelope down for long. If she can't decorate her own house, she can at least deal with the crabby neighbor offering visions of fiery sinners instead of sugarplums. And maybe track down the missing decorations while she searches for her holiday spirit.

Join Penelope, Jake, their dog, and a cast of friends in this heartwarming holiday mystery, the latest in The Penelope Standing Mysteries.
