Design Question and Idea

Okay, this is not the cover but it is an idea for one. This is simple yet says Christmas. After putting this together to get a feel for what I was thinking, it does not work because it says nothing about what the story is. Well, other than Christmas. And that's just a small part of the story. Winter is late and Jack Frost is missing. Nemoy disappears in search of Jack and of course, Maria has snuck out to follow Nemoy, so she can help her friend. So now she's the one who must find Jack Frost. There will be a dragon because my granddaughter says she wants a dragon in her story (she's the MC's inspiration so I asked what she wanted in the story lol).  So, idea #1.

If you ever caught a lightning bug, you'd understand. I know I used to, now I feel bad about it. No one seems to understand what they say, they only hear a buzzing sound.......But Maria can! Other characters will include.......Santa, Jack Frost, and a dragon that breathes fire! In this tale; Maria, Daisy, Geor

  It was time Marcus needed to move to the next ste p of  protecting Billie. It wasn’t enough keeping an eye on her and watching for Charles to make his debut. He pulled a pair of glasses out of his pocket, unfolded them, and placed them on his face. He pressed the button on the side to open the protective shield. He could feel the invisible armor wrap around his body. He was glad he had them. He pulled  the second  pair out of his pocket and tossed them at Billie. Quietly, he told her to put them on and press the button. He wasn’t sure who the man on the other side of the door wa s, b ut he wasn’t going to take any chances. He looked at Ryan. “Do you still have a pair?”     “Yeah, they’re in  the kitchen. I’ll get them.” Ryan  rushed out of the living room, leaping over the coffee table.   Marcus slowly opened the door a crack and peeked out. “May I help you?”   “Thank goodness someone is home. I’m sorry but my car broke down and I need help.”   “Do you have a cell phone?” Marcus aske
