When Santa gets snowed in at the North Pole, it's up to three heroes from Quirkville to save the day-but they're in for an ooey-gooey surprise! Reginald (the zombie), Zarfon (the alien), and Abigail Zink (the human) are all preparing for Christmas in Quirkville when the terrible news breaks: CHRISTMAS IS CANCELED! Santa is snowed in at the North Pole. The three friends hatch a plan to save the day. They load into Zarfon's spaceship-along with lots of peanut butter for a surprise Christmas delivery to his home planet later on-and head straight for the North Pole. When they arrive, they find that Santa and his elves are trapped, not by snow, but by a marshmallow cream explosion. With a little bit of creativity, a little bit of Christmas spirit, and one big KA-POW!, the pals from Quirkville save Christmas and inadvertently create a delicious treat!
"Zarfon's non-verbal speech balloons, and larger-than-life comedy work together to
deliver a sweet-and-salty tale."-- "Horn Book Magazine"
