Meanwhile, Oscars parents constant fighting makes his home feel like a battlefield, and to make matters worse, he gets into trouble at school. His punishment is spending the holiday season volunteering at the Frost Ridge hospital – even though he hate Christmas.

Gabby's life seems perfect. She's stylish, smart, and everyone looks up to her... But Gabby has a secret, and that could ruin everything. And when she winds up in the hospital, she's sure the truth will be discovered

Then, as if things couldn't get worse, Josie's beloved Clementine disappears, Oscar's parents separate, and Gabby's secret is uncovered.
