The Slug That Saved Christmas
by Clifford James Hayes
Fans
of quirky, irreverent yuletide humour will screech with delight at Clarence the
slug’s Christmas adventure! A rude letter from a greedy child makes Santa go a
bit bonkers - but it’s Christmas Eve and the elves are desperate for someone to
deliver all the presents! The Elf Doctor comes up with a completely mad plan to
save the day - and soon the fate of Christmas depends on one giant slug! Will
Clarence save the day, or will everybody’s Christmas be a slime-covered
nightmare?
PLEASE
NOTE: This book contains a bit of 'toilet humour' - the book has been tested on
kids and grandparents (who generally love this kind of naughtiness), but the
author requests you observe the above before buying ... if the occasional word
like ‘fart’, ‘poo’ and ‘bottom’ offend then please do not purchase!

It's
days before Christmas Eve and Santa receives a nasty little gift demand letter
from a greedy little boy that sends Santa into a crazed mental break down - and
let me tell you it was bad.....really, really bad. With Santa unable to deliver the thirteen
billion, eight hundred and sixty-two thousand, four hundred and sixteen
presents by 6am Christmas morning, Elf Doctor, Elf Wizard and Mrs. Claus come
up with a brilliant way to save Christmas without involving the elves or any
other Christmas animal (which would break the rules defined in the Elf
Handbook). How can it be done, you
ask? Only Santa can perform such a
Christmas miracle, right? Well, not this
time. With the magic of Christmas,
Clarence the Slug will save Christmas and deliver all the presents to all the
children all around the world.
Well....kind of.
The Slug that Save Christmas was a really cute
story that children and adults alike will enjoy. The author, Mr. Hayes, took the traditional
Santa Christmas story and twisted it in a fun, quirky and unique way that had
me laughing throughout. Truly a fun read
to get you in the holiday spirit. The
only thing that would have made this a spectacular read would be some cute
illustrations to go along with the story.
Regardless, this is one book that should be on your holiday reading
list.
