Arthur Christmas: The Novel — Justine Fontes

Being Santa Claus is a big job -- and one that has been passed down from father to son for centuries. This Christmas everyone at the North Pole expects Santa to turn the title over to his son Steve. Steve has totally modernized Christmas, and he seems much more suited to the job than his clumsy brother Arthur. After all, Arthur is afraid of heights, speed, and even reindeer! When Santa slips the last present under the tree, everyone cheers for Santa and Steve -- until a gift-wrapping elf named Bryony finds one lone gift that wasn't delivered. Is it the end of Christmas? Or will someone step into the big guy's Christmas boots and earn the title Santa Claus?
