Santa has landed in a whole lot of trouble! Thanks to Twinklestar, that marzipan-loving but lightning-shy reindeer, Santa and his caravan have come crashing down in a storm just two weeks before Christmas. Luckily he's (literally!) dropped into a nice neighborhood. But Santa's not safe. The ruthless Gerold Geronimus Goblynch plans to put an end to children's wishes and turn the holiday season into his personal moneymaking scheme. Only Santa stands between him and his grinchlike tricks. With the help of kids Charlotte and Ben, Santa will have to face Goblynch and his Nutcracker goons if he's ever going to rescue Christmas! Ben and lonely newcomer Charlotte try and prevent Santa from being turned into chocolate when his head will be bitten off in one bite. They find themselves tracking down an invisible reindeer in a crowded department store so he won't be turned into reindeer salami and taking on the dangerous task of making sure there will be snow for Christmas. But how can they stop the goons in big silver cars who are closing in on Santa? And how will Santa evade capture so he can make the wishes that count come true? This is an imaginative, humorous book with swearing elves and a reindeer who is a hundred times smarter than a snowmobile.
