Book Description
The holiday season has once again returned to the North Pole. But when a sneak freeze attack by the Blizzard Wizard and his nasty niece, Heidi Hoarfrost, leaves Santa and his reindeer with a near-terminal case of pneumonia, it looks like Christmas will be canceled. With the wishes of millions of kids at stake, it's up to St. Nick's teen-age daughter Jingle Belle to reluctantly take the reins and make her first solo Christmas Eve run. To do this, Jing must put together a replacement team of animals, and all she has to work with are the misfits of the arctic! Mix in a few rowdy lemmings, a hyperactive snowshoe hare, an egotistical narwhal, a wily wolverine, and Jingle's own pet fox and musk ox and you have the strangest steeds that ever pulled a present-packed sleigh. Coach Jingle has her work cut out for her in training her "dirty almost dozen!" Not that Bliz and Heidi actually plan on letting Jing and Co. complete the run - they've laid traps every stop along the way, and just to ensure Jing's failure, they've placed a traitor on her team!
