The Christmas Contest

In this charming advent novel, each of the 24 chapters is sealed behind perforated edges, so that readers can use a ruler to open one chapter each day in the countdown to Christmas!

There are too many kids on the nice list this year, and Santa is worried he won’t be able to deliver all the presents by himself! He quickly organizes a competition to recruit an apprentice to help him on his rounds. There's no shortage of contestants: an elf, a village child, a gnome who can only say "Groumf“, and even a stuffed monkey...

Every day, they share Santa's daily routine as he prepares for Christmas Eve and pass increasingly creative tests. Young readers will be kept guessing as they count down the days to Christmas, and the winner may surprise you!
