Enhanced descriptions from Syndetics:
Homeward Bound meets Elf in this heartwarming tale for the whole family. Can Chris, Holly, and Ivy help Santa's dog, Peppermint Bark, jingle all the way home to the North Pole before Christmas Day ends?
For 364 days of the year, Santa and his best friend, Peppermint Bark, are inseparable. Santa's fluffy white dog helps herd the reindeer, keep tabs on the elves, and check the list--twice. But though Peppermint Bark asks every Christmas, he never gets to join Santa on his sleigh ride around the world. Until the dog decides to stow away . . .
When eight- and eleven-year-old Chris and Holly Kerstman discover a small white dog wedged in their chimney on Christmas morning, they can't imagine where he came from, until he tells them. Peppermint Bark is unlike any dog they and Holly's best friend, Ivy, have ever met: His breath smells of mint, faint jingle bells can be heard when he wags his tail, and he can talk! He tells the kids all about his secret sleigh ride and how he got accidentally left behind on their rooftop, but when it comes to answering the question of how he'll get home to the North Pole, Peppermint Bark is stumped. It's up to the kids to work together to get Peppermint Bark home before the last magical portal to the North Pole closes at midnight on Christmas Day. A Christmas tale with enough heartwarming moments and heart-pounding action to entertain the entire family this holiday!
When eight-year-old Chris discovers a fluffy, white puppy wedged inside his family's chimney on Christmas morning, he knows exactly how it got there because the dog tells him. It turns out Peppermint Bark stowed away in Santa's sleigh, go left behind accidentally, and he can talk! Now Chris must convince his too-cool big sister, Holly, and her best friend, Ivy, that this is Santa's puppy. Chris seems to be the only one who understands what the dog is saying, but Peppermint Bark needs all of their help. If they don't find a portal back to the North Pole before Christmas Day ends, the little dog will be stuck in Poinsettia until next year! Do the kids have enough Christmas spirit to work together and help the jolly little dog jingle all the way home?
