Book description
'Twas the night (okay, more like the week) before Christmas and little
Joshua Barker is in desperate need of a Christmas miracle. Josh is sure
he saw Santa take a shovel to the head and now the seven year old has
only one prayer: Please Santa, come back from the dead! But coming to
Earth, seeking a small child whose wish needs granting, is none other
than Archangel Raziel. Unfortunately, he's not sporting the brightest
halo in the bunch and before you can say 'Kris Kringle,' he's botched
his sacred mission and sent the residents of Pine Cove headlong into
Christmas chaos, culminating in the most hilarious and horrifying
holiday party the town has ever seen. Christopher Moore began writing
at the age of six and became the oldest known child prodigy when, in his
early thirties, he published his first novel. Chris enjoys cheese
crackers, acid jazz, and otter scrubbing and lives in an inaccessible
island fortress in the Pacific.
