Cris Francet, Director of Marketing and Publicity for Pants On Fire Press commented, "We are not surprised by how well the title has sold. Franco has crafted a wonderful, unpredictable and entertaining fantasy adventure. It is getting positive feedback from readers, teachers and parents. Readers are thrilled by the introduction of a nontraditional Santa who is not only black and fit but also more Commander and Chief than Jolly Old Elf. Children are engrossed by Santa's nefarious and rogue Krampus-like assistant."

In Franco's book, it is six days before Christmas and incredibly weird things are happening in 11-year-old Jakob's Florida neighborhood. His best friends - Logan, Shig and Fleep - are convinced their Christmas is in danger, and then live snowmen strangely appear and confirm the threat. Jakob dismisses the bizarre events as nothing more than an elaborate hoax concocted by the bully down the street. But when the bully turns into smoke, a magical and powerful stranger appears as the mastermind behind the mayhem. The stranger demands the unimaginable and impossible: that Jakob catch Santa - or else.
