(4) 4-6 Illustrated by Michael Fry. After saving Christmas (The Naughty List), Bobbie returns to normal life until her elf friends reappear asking for help closing the Trans-Dimensional portal. She grudgingly agrees, only to have Grumpus try to use her nightmare to terrorize the real world. A frantic pace, haphazard encounters, and Bobbie's near-constant complaining may annoy readers, but there's plenty of anarchic humor and comics-style illustrations to enjoy.

(3) 4-6 Illustrated by Michael Fry. In a setting where magic abounds (and smells like refried beans), a twelve-year-old girl decides that Christmas is a "bully" that should be ignored. Her plan is disrupted when her uncle enlists two elves to help the girl take her younger brother's name off Santa's naughty list. Comics and spot illustrations extend the humor of this clever tale with irreverent references.
