Victoria McQueen has a secret gift for finding things: a misplaced bracelet, a missing photograph, answers to unanswerable questions. On her Raleigh Tuff Burner bike, she makes her way to a rickety covered bridge that, within moments, takes her wherever she needs to go, whether itโs across Massachusetts or across the country.
Charles Talent Manx has a way with children. He likes to take them for rides in his 1938 Rolls-Royce Wraith with the NOS4A2 vanity plate. With his old car, he can slip right out of the everyday world, and onto the hidden roads that transport them to an astonishing โ and terrifying โ playground of amusements he calls โChristmasland.โ
Then, one day, Vic goes looking for troubleโand finds Manx. That was a lifetime ago. Now Vic, the only kid to ever escape Manxโs unmitigated evil, is all grown up and desperate to forget. But Charlie Manx never stopped thinking about Victoria McQueen. Heโs on the road again and heโs picked up a new passenger: Vicโs own son.
