Hilarious Movie Novelization

One Christmas Eve, while Santa Claus is visiting a children's orphanage, Buddy, a tiny baby, crawls into Santa's sack while looking for a stuffed teddy bear, and ends up being taken back to the North Pole, where he is kept, and raised by elves. Thirty years later, at 6'2, Buddy still believes that he is truly an elf. That is, until his adoptive elf father tells him the truth, that he is actually a human, and that his biological father lives in New York City, but is also on the naughty list. Buddy decides to set off to find his father, and to not only convince him that he is his son, but also to help him make the big leap from the naughty list to the nice list.After seeing the movie ELF, I just had to read the movie novelization. Identical to the movie, this book will offer laughs for children and adults of all ages, as they follow Buddy on his crazy adventures all over New York City. A must-have novelization for the holiday season, or any time of the year.Erika Sorocco
