In this modern holiday tale, based on the podcast of the same name,
two resourceful elves help Santa try to save Christmas from an evil tech
baron!
In the not-too-distant future, Santa's entire operation has been
automated. Machines, not elves, make all the toys. And drones transport
the presents around the world on Christmas Eve, not Santa's reindeer.
Since Santa no longer needs much help, he's let go all but two of his
elves, Elvis and Delfina, and released his 8 tiny reindeer into the
wild. Only, just days before Christmas, Santa learns that the wealthy
tycoon who supplied him with all his technology, Larchmont Quickbuck, is
plotting to take over Christmas and send Santa packing! Santa knows his
only hope of saving the holiday from Quickbuck is to bring back the true
source of Christmas magic -- his 8 tiny reindeer. But will Elvis and
Delfina find them in time?
This highly entertaining graphic novel by Robert Tinkler -- a writer,
podcast producer, voice actor and Daytime Emmy nominee -- is based on
his podcast of the same name, which is listened to around the world. The
holiday adventure story with a modern twist is structured like an advent
calendar, with one chapter for each day of December leading up to
Christmas Day (though many readers won't want to wait!). Each spread is
chock-full of Danesh Mohiuddin's high-energy illustrations. Loaded with
contemporary takes on familiar characters, such as a tech-challenged
Santa and selfie-obsessed elf, this action-packed, hilarious and
heartfelt book is destined to be a Christmas classic!
