Майлз Мэрфи переезжает. И не очень-то рад этому. Потому что в своей старой школе Милз был одни из самых-самых крутых шутников. Равного ему в розыгрышах не было. А переезжают они в Сонную долину, самая главная достопримечательность которой - коровы! Мало того, что ничего кроме скуки Майлз не ждет от нового места, так еще и оказывается, что у него появился соперник. Кто кого?

Маленькая девочка Анабель из города, в котором существует только два цвета: цвет снега и цвет почерневших от сажи дымоходов открывает маленькую волшебную коробочку с разноцветной пряжей.

Она вяжет себе свитер, а из остатков пряжи вяжет свитер для своей собаки. А из остатков вяжет еще один для соседа, еще свитера для всех своих одноклассников, для учителя, для мамы, для скворечника, для машин, для домов... Но пряжа все не кончается и не кончается!

Город становится таким красочным, теплым и уютным, что на него желает посмотреть сам герцог. Но когда он приезжает, оказывается, он хочет еще и купить волшебную коробочку с пряжей. Он предлагает Анабель много денег, еще больше, но девочка не соглашается на сделку. Тогда он крадет коробочку. Но, вернувшись к себе домой, и устроившись в любимом кресле, герцог вдруг обнаруживает, что коробочка совершенно пуста! Получив по заслугам, жадный герцог выбрасывает ее в море, и она приплывает... обратно к Анабель, которая продолжает работу над вязанием свитера для дерева.

Джон Классен, который работал над мультфильмами Кунг-фу Панда (2011) и Coraline (2009), использует черные чернила, гуашь и сканированную текстуру свитера цвета радуги, чем самым создает стильные линейные иллюстрации с яркими геометрическими акцентами.

When Santa arrives at a child's house on Christmas Eve, does he go down the chimney feetfirst or headfirst? What if he gets stuck? What if there's no chimney?

Channeling a child's fanciful explanations (and begging for further speculation), this latest collaboration by a New York Times best-selling team will find a secure spot among family holiday traditions.
