Winning first place in Harmony’s holiday lights Best Block contest should be a dream come true for James and Mandy.

Instead, it may turn into a Christmas catastrophe.

With the neighborhood’s big win on the line, James and Mandy must work together with Rosco to stop the chaos, save Opening Night, and discover what the Christmas spirit is really all about.

Filled with humor, heart, and wholesome holiday fun, Rosco the Rascal and the Holiday Lights is the fifth adventure in the Rosco the Rascal chapter book series.
