Summary

"In the city of R., nothing bad ever happens -- which makes it a perfect destination for moms Isabella and Dominique, and their three children, Manuel, Camila, and Shonda, when they're forced to flee their home country just before Christmas to keep their family together. Crammed into a tiny apartment at 10 Roomy Chimneys Road, the family does its' best to make friends with new neighbors -- only to discover that the reason that nothing bad ever happens in R. is that its' residents maintain the status quo at all costs. They don't try anything new. They don't take risks. And they never talk to strangers. But the children of R. have had enough. Led by a young inventor, they've started a clandestine radio network to communicate freely and challenge the adults' rules. Their rebellion starts Manuel, Camila and Shonda on a magical adventure -- to save Christmas, and to bring community back to the city of R."--Provided by publisher
