Ember the Chihuahua, his humans and his friends are spending a few days on Acorn Island--which is rumored to be ruled by a giant, evil chipmunk, determined to drive away all humans and pets.

It is hard for Chihuahua Ember to decide which is worse: a pack of pugs who announce that they are aliens, or the dog park which is filled with large and overexcited dogs--but he is convinced that he and his animal friends must stop the pugs to save the world (for themselves).

Lucy's grandmother Poh Poh and her poodle Fluffy arrive for a visit, and Fluffy immediately begins building a doomsday machine that will hypnotize humans and turn them into agents of chaos. Can Ember work with the other neighborhood pets to outsmart this evil genius?

In 1944 in Hartford, Connecticut, twelve-year-old Audrey dreams of being an aerialist like her heroes, the Flying Wallendas, and so she is excited to go to Ringling Brothers circus with her six-year-old twin sisters; but at the show a fire breaks out, and as the crowd starts to panic Audrey struggles to reach her sisters--she gets Patty out, but Charlotte, afraid of heights, refuses to jump from the higher seats, and disappears as the big top comes...

"One stray dog. One loving family. One cold winter's night. One Christmas miracle. It was two weeks before Christmas, and a stray dog wandered alone in the snow. When she discovered an open front door, she stepped inside with a hopeful heart, wondering what she would find... Rediscover the joy of the holiday season through this incredible true story about compassion, family, and the meaning of home."-- from cover.

Ember and the other pets come face-to-face with two evil raccoons who are hungry for revenge and have a plan to sabotage the neighborhood!
