Inhaltsangabe

Don’t think there’s anything worse than not getting what you want for Christmas? Try finding out that you’re getting that gift you always dreamed of — only to have it taken away.

That’s exactly what happens to seventh-grader Mitch Murphy.

Just hours after discovering that he’s finally getting a Playstation 4 for Christmas, Mitch’s cousins get into a blowout Thanksgiving food fight and lose their Christmas presents as punishment. A mere bystander in the brawl, Mitch receives no mercy and is caught in the collateral damage.

Stripped of the gift he spent the past two years obsessing over, all hope is lost for Mitch ... that is until he discovers where all of their presents are being stashed. With new life and one shot at his Playstation, Mitch must corral his motley crew of cousins to help him steal their presents back. But if they want to stand any chance of pulling off their holiday heist, they must first learn to work together.

Middle grade comedy fans will love this hilarious holiday heist. This soon-to-be Christmas classic captures the true spirit of the season and the importance of family in a fun and fast-paced story that's enjoyable for children and parents alike.

PUBLISHER'S NOTE: This book contains a couple of jokes about the big guy from the North Pole. The last thing we would ever want to do is potentially spill the beans on old Saint Nick and ruin the magic of Christmas for any child. If you think there is even the smallest chance your child still believes in Mr. Kringle, we recommend holding off a holiday season before buying this book. Don't worry, it will still be around and just as entertaining next year.
