A Christmas story for Isla

Here is how a story called "Isla and the Compass Mitten" might begin:

The beam from Isla’s lighthouse swept across the vast, frozen sea, a comforting pendulum against the dark. Isla, snug in her thick sweater, was watching for ships when she saw it: not a ship, but a peculiar dark speck in the distance, slowly growing larger. It wasn’t moving with the waves, but against them, with a strange, struggling wobble. As it drew closer, illuminated by the lighthouse’s powerful light, Isla gasped. It was a single, very worn, crimson mitten, caught on a small, floating piece of ice, and within its palm, a tiny, glowing compass spun wildly.

What happens next? Isla will brave the icy cold to retrieve the mysterious mitten, holding the key to a global navigation crisis.
