Illustrated by
Poly Bernatene.
Bradley Bartleby had "been born bad." His antics grow worse throughout the years, and Santa doesn't cater to him: every Christmas Bradley receives only socks. Bradley hatches a plan to capture Santa--using an absurdly intricate trap--and make sure "the fat fool" gets what he deserves. Bernatene's digital illustrations bring the troublemaker's beastliness to life in this cautionary tale disguised as a holiday romp.
