Spookley the Square Pumpkin is back in a brand new story, with some new friends at Holiday Hill Farm. When Mistletoe the Cat crashes at the Christmas party, he can’t remember where he came from. With the help of Spookley and three stray kittens, Scat, Scram and Shoo, he is about to find out just how important it is to join together, and what really makes a place a home.
