The Five-Fingered Elf

"When the vacant, coveted position of Santa Claus goes to Ethan Puckerton, Herbert Spanky Tuddy is one unhappy elf. And he plans on letting everyone in Christmasville know it. However, the new Santa Claus is too focused on improving bathroom plumbing, speeding up assembly lines, and installing a state-of-the-art communications system to coddle his disgruntled second-in-command. When the Claus gives billionaire Noel Rusk's Jetsla company laboratory space within the great North Pole biodome in exchange for fixing infrastructure problems, self-centered Herbert make a series of impulsive decisions that threaten the existence of the elves and, ultimately, Christmas itself." -- page[4] of cover.
