Some secrets are worth believing in Block the CleanerBot has spent months planning Deer Valley's Christmas Eve celebration. Every decoration must be perfect. Every guest must be delighted. Every detail must be flawless. But when a massive snowstorm threatens to ruin everything, Block's carefully calculated plans unravel. Then Gerald "Jerry" Olafson arrives—a weathered man traveling with five peculiar robotic companions called Coblots. Their snow glider is broken. Their timeline is impossible. And nine-year-old Nilo is convinced the mysterious stranger has a secret. As the blizzard intensifies and the party falls apart, Block discovers that some Christmas miracles require a little chaos—and a belief in magic he didn't know he needed.

Whether you're new to Block's world or a longtime fan, this festive story delivers warmth, wonder, and the reminder that the best gifts can't be wrapped.
