I love dragons and Christmas stories, so I eagerly grabbed this tale. I wasn't disappointed. This story told the tale of a mischievous wizard cursed to perform the unthinkable: watch over all the children of the world and record naughty and nice behavior, and give each nice child gifts within a 24-hour time period one night a year. Consequences are horrific if he fails.Frostbite, the dragon, inadvertently throws a spanner into the works on Christmas Eve, and eats most of his reindeer. Santa comes unglued and demands that she fix the problem by helping deliver the gifts.They are a few seconds late returning and the nit-picking witch in charge wants to destroy Santa. Frostbite saves the day.I gave this story a 5-star rating and it's appropriate for readers of all ages. I think it's a keeper and I will reread it every Christmas. If you're looking for something a little different, that isn't as saccharine as some of the other holiday stories out there, try it. I, for one, am glad I did.
