Izzy is an energetic 9-year-old. Overscheduled and running late, Izzy's parents can't pick her up on-time the last day of school before Christmas break. A blizzard complicates the matter, but not as much as a pair of bad guys who are freezing in an ice cream truck. The school's janitor is kidnapped by the intruders, and it's up to Izzy to save the day.

Titled after a fictional city derivative of Pella, Iowa, and a news story about a raccoon in St. Paul in 2018 that made its way to the top of a local public radio building.
