Emmy doesn’t believe in miracles. So when a blizzard separates her from her parents in the mountains of Mongolia, she’s certain it’s all over. Then, out of the shadows of the cave she shelters in, steps a snow leopard cub. An animal that hunters are out to steal. And along comes a boy who believes in impossible things.
Together, they set off on a dangerous journey to find Whisperfell, a magical land where wild animals live in peace. But with hunters closing in, can they get the cub to safety before it’s too late?
Perhaps it’s time to believe in miracles, after all . . .

Ted McKenley is done managing the mayhem of Tartarus Hotel’s ghostly residents alone. Fortunately, the holidays are here and Frankie Stark is finally back from boarding school. But there’s no rest for the stepsiblings as a pop megastar has chosen the hotel as the venue for her latest celebrity wedding.
Not to be outshone, the Duke of Snoring – Tartarus’s most notorious (and obnoxious) ghost – has decided to host his 363rd birthday party on the exact same day. As high profile guests, both living and spectral, descend on the hotel, Ted and Frankie can’t catch a break. Will they manage to save the (wedding) day before the duke steals the spotlight?
