THE SANTA CORPS
You have no idea how much help Father Christmas gets – all year round.
The first tale in this new series takes place in the Caribbean, the next … we’ll let you know!
Rasta Christmas and the Santa Corps:
The Summer Connection
The first tale in the new Santa Corps series
Best friends Alesha and Jaden know they’ve got a chance of winning the school essay competition. They only need to find out a bit more about the legendary Nightsurfer. Does he genuinely ride the waves at night and dance across the roofs?
They investigate by climbing their Caribbean island volcano – and get lost. Rasta Christmas, a member of the Santa Corps, finds them and takes them on a magical adventure. They discover the actual use of the Bermuda Triangle, and meet a talking parrot, walking fire hydrants and a friendly alien.
When a hurricane arrives, battering the island, Alesha’s fisherman father and his crew are out at sea in mortal danger. Who will save them from the raging storm?
Beautifully illustrated by Kris Lillyman, this is a charming tale for all seasons, all ages and all imaginations.
