Derek Brundle loves Christmas. All of a sudden Munkle, a member of S.E.S (Special Elf Service) appears at his bedroom window knocking to be let in. Derek lets her in, and she tells him she needs his help. Derek is baffled. How can he help her? He's only seven years old. Turns out he is needed for a special mission as Santa is missing. Why was Derek chosen for the mission? Will they be able to find Santa?

I enjoyed this story. I laughed as Derek and the elves go searching for Santa. Seems like there are things Derek does not know about his life and finds out from the elves. Also, he learns things about Santa that debunks what we have grown up knowing. Naturally, there is a villain--a truly hiss-worthy villain but I know Derek has the tools (and the brains) to defeat the villain and his minions.

This is a great story for the Christmas season. It is fresh and imaginative. Your elementary school kids will enjoy it and so will you. It will probably become a family tradition to read each year.

Once you get past the introduction to the main plot things start to improve. There was plenty of action nd the characters begin to grow on you. I have read the next two in the series and they continue to hold my interest, so I look forward to the fourth in the series which is on my to read list.

cute YA time travel story... maybe a bit too YA and/or cute for me. Still it was an easy read, and was inexpensive enough that I don't feel bad about purchasing it. 13 year old Becky and 10 year old Joe go to live with their quirky uncle... who of course is an inventor, and, well... some Greek mythology spices the story, the bad guy gets away to ensure sequels...
