Illustrated by
Olivier Latyk.
With Santa too sick to deliver presents, his daughter Jeannette makes the trip. "Everything was going exactly right," until the impertinent reindeer leave her stranded on a rooftop, with the gift drop-off only half completed. Resourceful Jeannette manages to get the job done and even provide a home for some cheerful stray cats and dogs. The stylish cartoon illustrations exude warmth and attitude.
