Christmas With The Wise Men

Sequel Available in 2026

He’s at it again! After his trip to Angel Land last Christmas, where he found a way to fix an angel’s broken wings, Carson, the “Little Professor,” somehow, someway, managed to find himself travelling back in time with “Three Wise Men.”

But before this new adventure, he reunited with his friends (including his nemesis, Wanda) and made it through the 3rd Grade Nativity Pageant. It looked like it would be a quiet, uneventful Christmas until his Angel Land pals called the Little Professor into action. Now, Carson played a surprising role at the very first Nativity.

As the Wise Men followed the star and moved closer to the Nativity on that very, very first Christmas Day, one catastrophic event, a surprising twist of fate, and an unexpected mystery made it another Christmas to remember.

It’s a story of five gifts to the Christ Child. Four questions answered. Three Wise Men redeemed. Two miracles manifested. And one mystery solved.

The morning after the very first Christmas, Mary and Joseph are packing in a hurry—fleeing Herod's wrath with a newborn son and a strange encounter still fresh in their minds. Who was the quiet little boy with blue wings the Wise Men called "Little Tofa"? Who was the crying girl he comforted? And what became of Mary's prized blue sash?

Christmas with the Wise Men, the second installment in Perry Buffington's "Little Professor" mystery series, weaves back and forth between a present-day Christmas nativity play going sideways (again) and the untold story of the Wise Men's journey to Bethlehem—Balthazar, Gaspar, and Melchior racing against Herod's spies, guided by angels named Raphael, Gabriel, Michael, and Jimuel. At the center of it all is a mystery only a curious kid could untangle: who is Little Tofa, and why does he seem to remember it all forever?

Blending gentle mystery, angelic wonder, and genuine reverence for the Nativity story, this smart, fun, family-friendly read is perfect for anyone who loves a Christmas tale with a little more magic—and a little more mystery—behind the manger. Fans of the first "Little Professor" mystery, Christmas in Angel Land, will find Buffington's signature blend of wit, warmth, and wonder here again, wrapped around one of the oldest and most beloved stories ever told.

A cozy holiday mystery for readers of every age who believe the Christmas story still has secrets worth discovering.
