Mandy the Mischievous Elf Bill Dale Grizzle

Publisher Marketing: Things had been going really well in the Kingdom of Claus for decades now; everyone had become comfortable with that. The Elves were content, toy production was at an all time high, and Santa Claus had so few issues to deal with he had developed the habit of napping in the afternoons, and sometimes he even took the afternoons off. Yep, all was well at the North Pole, but all that was about to change. Lurking deep within one family was a dreaded condition know as mischiefitus; a condition that causes one to act in very odd ways and do unthinkable things that no Elf would ever do. Thankfully there is only one family left at the North Pole that is afflicted by this dreadful condition, and again thankfully mischiefitus only effects the third daughter of a third daughter of a third daughter. But it is now time for the mischiefitus to rear its ugly head. The Kingdom of Clause is caught by surprise as things begin to go wrong in the toy factories and shops, as computer systems go haywire, and as the very meaning of Christmas is threatened. It will take the efforts of everyone at the North Pole to overcome the evil that has taken root in the happiest place in the world. It will require one young Elf girl to be braver than she ever dreamed she could be, on a journey that will take her to a place far from the safety of her home. And it will require the assistance of a stranger; but a true friend of Christmas. Join Santa and Mandy and all the other Elves as they learn life's lessons as they strive to keep Christmas joyful for all.
