Kyle and Corey are back! It's Christmastime in Fairly Springs, and the boys are unhappy that their father, a civil engineer, won't be home for the holiday, for the first time ever. But as usual, they're busy: Their mom, who runs a local dance school, is preparing for a major recital just before Christmas Eve, their friend Mathew, who's getting sicker every day in his wheelchair, has figured out an ingenious way to use his brilliant new video game, and Kyle's best friend Lance's father, who's never home for the holidays, will be home this year. But when he gets home, Kyle has questions: Who is Mr. Agee, really? Is he really an engineer, as he claims? And why is he home this Christmas, when he's missed all the others? And what, if anything, does this have to do with the new computer teacher at school and the new space center breaking ground in Fairly Springs just before Christmas?
