Enhanced descriptions from Syndetics:
In the not-too-distant future, Santa's entire operation has been automated. Machines, not elves, make all the toys. And drones transport the presents around the world on Christmas Eve, not Santa's reindeer. Since Santa no longer needs much help, he's let go all but two of his elves, Elvis and Delfina, and released his 8 tiny reindeer into the wild. Only, just days before Christmas, Santa learns that the wealthy tycoon who supplied him with all his technology, Larchmont Quickbuck, is plotting to take over Christmas and send Santa packing! Santa knows his only hope of saving the holiday from Quickbuck is to bring back the true source of Christmas magic - his 8 tiny reindeer. But will Elvis and Delfina find them in time? This highly entertaining graphic novel by Robert Tinkler - a writer, podcast producer, voice actor and Daytime Emmy nominee - is based on his podcast of the same name, which is listened to around the world. The holiday adventure story with a modern twist is structured like an advent calendar, with one chapter for each day of December leading up to Christmas Day (though many readers won't want to wait!). Each spread is chock-full of Danesh Mohiuddin's high-energy illustrations. Loaded with contemporary takes on familiar characters, such as a tech-challenged Santa and selfie-obsessed elf, this action-packed, hilarious and heartfelt book is destined to be a Christmas classic!
"In the not-too-distant future, Santa has automated his entire workshop with high-tech machines that build all his toys and deliver them on Christmas Eve. This new technology has eliminated Santa's need for helpers. He's let go all but two of his elves, Elvis and Delphina, and released his rare 8 tiny reindeer - the ones who pulled his sleigh - back into the wild. But just days before Christmas, Santa learns that the business tycoon who supplied this modern technology, Larchmont Quickbuck, has decided to take over Christmas for himself and force Santa out of the operation! Desperate to stop that from happening, Santa asks Elvis and Delphina to track down the 8 tiny reindeer to help save Christmas, while he uses his now-rusty building skills to repair the toy-making machines. Elvis and Delphina quickly learn that the true magic of Christmas lies with the tiny reindeer -- when all eight are brought together, they can slow down time! That's how Santa delivers presents around the world in one evening and why Santa needs the 8 tiny reindeer to make Christmas happen! Based on a podcast listened to around the world, 8 Tiny Reindeer was created by writer and actor Robert Tinkler. The graphic novel for ages 7 to 10 is structured like an advent calendar, with one chapter for each day of December leading up to Christmas Day. It's an adventure-packed Christmas story with a modern twist, sure to entertain and delight readers at the holiday season!"-- Provided by publisher.
