Santa and the Moonlings
by Roxanne L Johnson

---

When a meteor crashes into a lunar rover, five tiny Moonlings are forced to flee their glowing home on the Moon—and accidentally blast off to Earth. Lost in the snow, they meet three curious children and one very enthusiastic dog who decide to help them find a way back. But time is running out: without the Moonlings’ magic, Santa’s sleigh won’t fly, and Christmas could be lost for everyone. Together, the children and their new friends set off on a daring mission that spans snowy fields, secret launch pads, and the shimmering surface of the Moon itself. Santa and the Moonlings is a heartwarming adventure about courage, friendship, and the light we share when we work together, especially when the world needs it most.

Roxanne L. Johnson has always had a big imagination and a love for creating. When she’s not writing, she enjoys making pottery, painting, game night with friends, and dreaming up new ideas to bring to life. She was inspired to write Santa and the Moonlings by her great nieces and nephew, whose curiosity and creativity helped shape the story. The robot T.R.E.V. is named in memory of a close friend who encouraged her to follow her imagination. She lives in the beautiful Okanagan, Penticton, British Columbia. Maybe one day the Moonlings will meet the Ogopogo that lives in the lake!
