About the Book
It’s Christmastime in Thornbury, and Easton can’t wait to join the town’s beloved Olde Thornbury Christmas Market—complete with Santa, his reindeer, and all the delicious smells of the season. But when excitement turns to chaos, Easton finds himself in one misadventure after another.
He’s determined to spread some holiday cheer and make it onto Santa’s Nice List. The question is—can he stay out of trouble long enough to do it?
Full of laughter, heart, and sensory delight, Christmas Capers is a holiday story young readers will want to return to year after year.
“Full of joy, heart, and holiday fun, Christmas Capers is for every reader who believes in the magic of rescue dogs and the spirit of the season.”
