See all formats and editions

It's Christmas Eve and Santa has been missing for months.

His workers have been desperately searching Crackenridge Castle for any sign of him, but haven't discovered a single Ho-Ho-Ho.

Worse still, Santa's scheming sister, Auntie, has moved into the grotto, stopped toy production and sacked the elves.

Auntie is set on stopping the toy delivery forever...Down in the workshop, the Escape Committee secretly makes it plans.

The toy delivery must happen - lives are at risk! When everything else fails, they reluctantly turn to their last resort: ten-year-old Archie Brevitt.

But what does Archie know about Santa's Christmas delivery round?

It's already approaching midnight when Bert the bear arrives to collect him.

Not only that, the toys aren't ready to leave, the production elves are long gone, no one trusts the delivery elves, there's a meddlesome ghost to avoid, a fire-breathing dragon to bypass, two ice giants to battle, a spy to uncover and the furniture can't be trusted, either.

Auntie's Goblin Guards patrol the whole castle and she's aided by her evil cohort, the ancient mighty Chinese magician, Zan Zu-Chan, brought especially from the Orient. Will Archie succeed in finding Santa and ensuring the toys are delivered before the Christmas deadline?

Archie Brevitt's Amazing Crackenridge Escapade is the first in a series of adventures set in the magical world of Crackenridge Castle.

Each novel stands alone as a complete story with it's own protagonist, magical inventions and a wealth of mythical creatures.

The series is set to be a hit with children aged 9-12, with one clue per novel to help unravel the final mystery of what truly lies hidden deep below Santa's grotto and who will be first to discover the treasure.
