It is Christmas Eve, and the Mouse King has very devious plans. Determined to create complete pandemonium, he attempts to steal the key from the Kingdom of Sweets!

Clara and Fritz Strundel, along with their new friend, the Nutcracker, are the only ones who can stop him. However, when a magical spell hits Fritz, the three of them embark on a race against time to reach the Kingdom of Sweets and the Sugar Fairy, the only one who can break the enchantment.

Will the adventurous trio manage to put an end to the schemes of the Mouse King and save Fritz before it is too late?

This Christmas, Alex T. Smith, author of the Christmas hits "Winston – The Christmas Mailman" and "Winston – Return Home," reintroduces us to the classic Nutcracker – a Christmas story with rich illustrations in 24 ½ chapters.
