INTERMEDIATE FICTION
(3) 4-6 A retiring Santa announces a competition for his replacement. Claus family members and elves alike (including protagonists Ollie and Celia) compete in events ranging from sleigh-racing to cookie-and-milk consumption. A society devoted to the perpetuation of wish-fulfillment and Christmas cheer is fertile territory for puns and parody, and Huett's are all in good fun. The spirited holiday romp endorses teamwork, respect, and generosity.
