关于此电子书

Catching Santa was nominated to the Sunshine State Young Readers Award committee for consideration for 2014-2015 SSYRA List!



Accelerated Reader Quiz #150476 (BL: 4.5, Pts: 9, MG)



Awards:

2011 Next Generation Indie Book Award Winner (Children's/Juvenile Fiction)



Description:

High-tech gadgetry and ancient magic has done little to aid in the
centuries old search for Santa's rogue assistant, Servant Rupert. But
Servant Rupert has been searching for someone too –the fabled Pole, the
one person who can see Santa. But the search hasn’t fared well for
Servant Rupert. To make matters worse, his agents have contacted Santa’s
forces wishing to defect. A risky plan is quickly set in motion by
Santa’s Special Forces to divulge the location of Jakob Jablonski, the
Pole, in hopes it will lead to the capture of Santa’s forever naughty
helper. Wasting little time, Servant Rupert recklessly contacts Jakob.



In the ensuing mayhem Jakob is drawn into the mystery of Santa and
his dastardly rogue assistant when proclaimed a Pole by Servant Rupert.
He quickly demands that Jakob catch Santa...or he will turn everyone
Jakob cares for into coal! Jakob and his band of friends, partnering
with elf spies and rogue agents of Servant Rupert, begin to uncover
hints of a sinister plot involving more than just catching Santa.



In his exquisitely written fantasy debut and 2011 Next Generation
Indie Book Award Winner, David M. F. Powers, aka Marc Franco, creates an
original yet simple world while staying true the traditions of Santa.
Jakob's adventurous journey to self-acceptance of his destiny is one
readers will remember long after they've turned the final page.
