COAL a cautionary christmas tale

By Chris Savino

Snatched from his home on Christmas Eve, eleven-year-old Charlie Peters is taken to the North Pole where he is forced to work in Santa's coal mine. There, along with other naughty children, Charlie must endure back-breaking work, battle nasty little elves, resist human/reindeer hybrids, and escape from a hideous beast with a red, glowing nose. But that isn't all. Charlie discovers a new naughty list-a Permanent Naughty List that traps children in the mines forever. And Charlie is next. In order to go home, Charlie must find the Nice List and write his name on it before it's too late. Will Charlie Peters change his selfish ways and learn the true meaning of Christmas or will he end up on the Permanent Naughty List, trapped in Santa's coal mine forever?

Customer Reviews

Great blend of polar Xpress, and spirited away…

Similar to Miyazaki “spirited away” this is about a misbehaving child who gets sent to work as a slave… For misbehaving… An adolescent books, but adults can enjoy it also… I really loved The interjection of quotes from night before Christmas and other Christmas songs and poems… Really a fresh read!
