Puzzled

Two years have passed since Peter and his friends went up against Zoltan-a supernatural being-in a battle of minds and wits, with the fate of the Earth on the line. Life is great for Peter now: He and Nicola are still dating. He's about to start high school, where he will be taking advanced science and math classes. But then, out of nowhere, something happens... Something confusing and terrifying, which has the potential to cause immeasurable destruction. Is Zoltan angry again? Is Peter not living up to his promise? Or... is something else going on? So once again, Peter and his friends' problem-solving skills are needed. But this time, what they are faced with is way more puzzling, and the stakes are much, much higher.

Fall is changing to winter in Clearville, mere months after Peter and his friends went up against their second supernatural adversary. The positives in Peter's life are adding up: He and Nicola have never been happier. Classes at school are far more interesting than he had anticipated. And Christmas, his favorite time of year, is just around the corner. However, something begins to eat away at Peter's conscience, and he feels compelled to act. But even when one has only good intentions in mind, unpredictable - or possibly even disastrous - consequences can occur. For the third time in less than three years, Peter and his friends' talents are put to the test. And anything less than perfection will mean a terrifying, unthinkable, impossible-to-live-with outcome....
