Molly is at summer camp, which is full of exciting surprises. But when it’s time for a game of Color War, she’s afraid the fun may end. She and her friends are on different teams, and they have to compete against each other. Back at home, Molly has another surprise: A girl from London is coming to stay with the McIntires! Molly expects her to be as glamorous as an English princess, but shy Emily is nothing like Molly imagined. Finally, Molly gets the news she’s been waiting for: Dad is coming home!

Everyone is focused on working to win the war. Toys, treats, and holiday surprises are scarce. But Molly’s imagination can’t be rationed. She brings her friends together for the school’s Lend-a-Hand contest, and she makes Christmas memorable for her family. With hope in her heart and pride in her country, Molly makes a difference.
