Bøger i WON'T TELL serien

CAPTIVATING, THOUGHT-PROVOKING, CONVINCING, TIMELY . . . "NOBODY KNOWS and nobody is going to know either." This mentality has worked for Santa since the day he placated his father by saying, "Yes, Poppa. I'll keep it secret forever." Years pass. Due to social changes, the fears that led to his poppa taking drastic measures to protect Santa are no longer relevant. Santa knows this, but stubbornness, and lingering fears, cement his intent. He-wedded to the secret-keeping law since a small child-will not tell. To date, no one outside the North Pole Region has guessed his secret and no one in his homeland has snitched. Past Christmas Seasons have been routine, but this one brings more surprises than are wanted. Besides someone searching for a way to covertly expose his secret, some serious/sad/hilarious reminiscing by Santa and Mitzi, regarding bygone days and past conflict in their marriage, foreshadows disaster . . . a disaster many fear could not only ruin Christmas but also Santa's reputation.

Trickery and drama are set in motion as a child's needs and the stability of a family hang in the balance. In his effort to help, Santa matches wits with Sam Toddle, the snoopy reporter, plus, a mystery man enters the mix. Who is he? And that guilt-ridden parent-why is she sneaking around? What is she up to? And who's playing matchmaker? A week after his Christmas Eve run, Santa, cozied up in his favorite chair, about to enjoy a lively football game, is distracted by a knock at the door. "Privacy? You want privacy away from here. Why?" Is Santa's secret safe for another year? The answer will surprise you. Fun reading for 12 through adulthood.

After Santa's accident, Mitzi, his wife, goes through the gamut of rescuing, failing, misusing her authority, overreacting, and alienating others. In short, she makes a mess of things trying to fix Santa's problem. Not until she asks for help does she realize the positive possibilities that lie at her fingertips.Unable to function at one hundred percent, Santa falls victim to confusion, anxiety, distrust, suspicion, and the unthinkable. Grant it, he does his best to either hide or compensate for his problem-sometimes quite humorously.In Seattle, with an eccentric reporter breathing down his neck and his memory in a fog, it's tricky for Jolly Old Saint Nicholas to get through his month-long Santa Claus Helper stint without someone discovering his secret. One night, under the watchful eye of Sam Toddle, an unusual request by a guilt-ridden parent magically lifts one problem off his shoulders but sets him spinning when he realizes he can't produce what she wants. Who saves his neck? And the snoopy reporter, what is he planning?Oh, and how does one elf handle his devastation when someone doesn't say, "It's a secret."?For ages 12 through adulthood.
