OH NO! There's blue snow on the ground this Christmas, and Jake blames himself for it. Last night, Jake woke up and saw a beautiful snow globe by his bed. He then wished for snow and an exciting Christmas day. Now look at what's happened - BLUE snow!!! The very weird thing is, it's only on their street! That is strange! Jake meets Eric (don't you love that name ;) ), the elf, who takes him to Santa's ship (his modern sleigh) and meets Santa. Most of Jake's family didn't believe in Santa but Jake did. Santa explains to Eric how he accomplishes everything he has to do on Christmas Eve. Santa also tells Jake that his future will be changed forever (but in a good way).This Christmas story is a great read for kids and adults. I thought the story plot was very unique. I thought the part of the story that tells you that you have to believe to see things (like snowmen are really alive). It is a nice more modern story for the holidays. It has a lot of funny parts to it. I really love Ms. Palmer's Alice Parker series and this story is written just as well. If you are looking for a fun Christmas story for your kid (or yourself), I recommend "One Strange Christmas"!*NOTE I received a free copy of this book in exchange for an honest review
