Throughout their adventure, Drew and Ellie present a positive image of sibling relationships.

Drew learns the hard way about the importance of being true to his word. With the help of his friend, Sanjay, he also discovers that telling the truth is the only honorable thing to do, even when it seems easier to cover up your mistake with a lie.
The Missing Medal teaches children the importance of keeping a promise and that honesty is the foundation for establishing trust.
Saving Christmas

But when Drew and Ellie use the Magical Dress to bring the gift to Maya’s temporary home, they encounter someone who threatens to foil their plan.
Saving Christmas is a holiday story that highlights the concept of selfless giving. It’s also about finding the courage to push through your fears and the importance of making sacrifices to bring happiness to others.
