Review & Description

2011 Next Generation Indie Book Award Winner (Children's/Juvenile Fiction)
The Kringle Chronicles: Catching Santa by Marc Franco is refreshingly new and different. Unique characters, vivid hi-tech environments, and fun make this energizing story enjoyable for any age. It is six days before Christmas and weird things are happening in 11-year-old Jakob's Florida neighborhood. His friends are convinced their Christmas is in danger, and then live snowmen strangely appear and confirm the threat. Jakob dismisses the bizarre events as an elaborate hoax concocted by the neighborhood bully. But when the bully turns into smoke, a devilish stranger appears as the mastermind behind the mayhem demanding that Jakob catch Santa...or else!
