• Unique introduction

Can you imagine a world without toys? or Christmas without Santa Claus?

Read this classic, but less well-known children's story, by L. Frank Baum, who wrote 'The Wonderful Wizard of Oz,' of the life of Santa Claus, or give it as a charming, special, thoughtful Christmas gift.

Find out how little Claus was found as an abandoned baby and adopted by the immortal beings of an enchanted forest; and how, because of the kindness that was shown to him as a child, he develops a wish and mission to bring happiness to all human children; as well as how he develops his abilities to do so, through the influence of the magical beings, and the children he meets; find out how Claus starts making toys, overcomes fierce enemies, gets people to help him, and ultimately achieves immortality himself.

Makes a lovely, special, Christmassy bedtime story for younger kids, but some old-fashioned words and phrases may need to be explained during the reading.

    After being teased one too many times at school, Ignatius MacFarland decides to build a rocket. Maybe extraterrestrials are nicer than his classmates! But when his rocket takes an explosive wrong turn, Ignatius ends up in another frequency run by former English-teacher-turned-dictator, Chester Arthur. Mr. Arthur has taken the art, culture, and advancements of our world, shared them with this new frequency, and convinced the creatures around him that he's a genius. It's up to Iggy and Karen, another trapped earthling, to expose Mr. Arthur for the fraud that he is-and to hopefully make it home alive.  
Part comedy, part science fiction, and part fantasy, this debut novel, with line art by talented newcomer Peter Chan, makes being a geek, well, kind of cool.
