The Santa Diaries: Santa’s Stowaway
by Betsy Haynes
Description:
Just when Santa thought it was the perfect Christmas Eve night, a tiny voice called from the back of the sleigh, “I really didn’t break it.” Did Santa have a stowaway? You bet he did! Little Jerod ad slipped into the sleigh and wreaked havoc. Sure, Jerod didn’t mean any harm but how could Santa possibly mend the broken toys and get them all delivered by Christmas morning?
This is the third and final book in The Santa Diaries Series. Again we are taken on an adventure narrated in Santa’s voice. We realize that even Santa, the magical elf from the North Pole, has his own share of problems. When Jerod breaks the toys Santa is beyond worried. As with any good children’s story there are twists and turns, moments of pure panic and worry, and moments of saving grace and heroism.
I truly enjoyed this series. It was quite fun to read and see Santa as a technophobe, a caretaker to his reindeer and a problem solver when his toys got destroyed. Every child wonders what Santa Claus is like and what he thinks about. Now they can hear it from Santa himself.
All three books are available on Amazon as well as Smashwords. They would be great stories leading up to Christmas and cause even more excitement about this magical time of year.
