Synopsis

Ollie and Celia think they know what the life of an elf is supposed to be like: Make toys. Help Santa. Make more toys. Help Santa. Try out a new ice-cream flavor. Help Santa. But then Santa rocks the North Pole with a surprise announcement! He's decided this is going to be his last year in the Big Red Suit, and, instead of letting his oldest son-the unfortunately named Klaus Claus-take over, he's opening up the job to any Claus or elf who wants to apply. The Santa Trials have begun! Ollie and Celia enter the contest, having no idea whatsoever that they'll soon have to squeeze through impossible chimneys, race runaway sleighs, sweet-talk a squad of rowdy reindeer, and consume cruel amounts of cookies and milk. It's both an adventure and a survival test, far beyond what any Claus or elf has been asked to do before. But whoever rises to the top will get a reward even bigger than Christmas...

Move over Elf-on-the-Shelf, a more modern Christmas star is born! Top Elf is a magical new work of “list-erature” for middle grades from a clever and dynamic young author. Caleb Zane Huett has created a kind spirited and pun-loving hero in protagonist Ollie Gnome. Twelve year old Ollie finds himself......more

It’s the Triwizard Tournament meets Christmas with fewer casualties, and the winner is crowned Santa. It has jokes in spades to keep you in stitches, with enough heart to warm the North Pole. Ollie and Celia are my favorite friend duo since Obama and Biden, and their quest to fill in Santa’s shoes (......more
