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.
