The No-Good Nine

(2) 4-6 What do you do when Santa leaves coal in your stocking? If you're the No-Good Nine--a ragtag group of kids with the nicknames Liar, Hooligan, Thief, Cruel, Vainglorious, etc.--you take to the North Pole in order to confront Santa (and play with some toys). Set during the Great Depression, Marciano's freewheeling tale will appeal to readers who prefer their holiday spirit to be side-splitting rather than heart-tugging.
