Description from the publisher:
Santa Dave, responsible for all the present deliveries across London, is stuck on a desert island with his helper, Sheree, and a broken sleigh. If Dave doesn't get back to the UK in time, he'll also miss the only chance this year to see his eight-year-old daughter, Evie.

When a boat runs aground on the island, Dave is filled with hope that this stranger can help fix his sleigh and save Christmas, but Dave soon finds he has much more to battle than grounded transport.

Can Dave get to London to save Christmas in time?

Note: Suitable for the whole family but beware for younger children, Santa Dave is portrayed as one of many Santas around the world, which may or may not be in line with your children's expectations!
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

SLEIGHWRECKED is a stand-alone story with a unique handling of the question of how Santa is able to get to all of the houses in one night.

While I thought it was a lot of fun & laughs, I also thought it was too adult for very little ones.  On the other hand, once they start questioning, this may be a way to extend the magic or bring them into the adult side of the fun.  They may get a kick out of the alternative ideas.
