Publisher's Synopsis
When Dorothy Norton (Dot) returns to her parent's home for the holidays and gets bonked on the head, all sorts of strange things are set in motion. From a traditional Christmas turned upside down to strange toys that come to life and a Santa Clause that is not your typical ho-ho-ho jolly old elf, this hilarious tale will make you laugh out loud and maybe even lose a bit of your eggnog. And furthermore, it's a heartwarming (or is that heartBURN?), nostalgic holiday tale about Christmas family traditions and the consumer culture and features runaway inflatable decorations, lots of wonderful horrendous puns, British dialect and lots of cultural references and what-not. And dreams that come true. (Or do they?) And yes! There's even Elvis. Of course. Fans of the Wizard of Oz and anybody who loves cats will love this contemporary Christmas tale. From the author of DYE, DYEING, DEAD, HALLOWEEN THIRTEEN, PRINCESS PRIMROSE & the CURSE OF THE BIG SLEEP, LONE STAR DEATH, THE JOURNAL OF MINA HARKER and the "Nameless, Texas" short comedy fiction series.
