Before there was Santa Claus, there was a young boy who
believed in the impossible…. Lemony Snicket meets Elf
in this warmhearted Christmas
caper.
Eleven-year-old Nikolas—nicknamed
“Christmas”—has received only one toy in his life: a doll
carved out of a turnip. But he’s happy with his turnip doll,
because it came from his parents, who love him. Then one day
his father goes missing, and Nikolas must travel to the
North Pole to save him.
Along the way, Nikolas
befriends a surly reindeer, bests a troublesome troll, and
discovers a hidden world of enchantment in the frozen
village of Elfhelm. But the elves of Elfhelm have troubles
of their own: Christmas spirit and goodwill are at an
all-time low, and Nikolas may be the only person who can fix
things—if only he can reach his father before it’s too late….
