Comet the Unstoppable Reindeer

Description

Age range 5+ From a New York Times bestselling author with over fifteen million books in print, the hilarious story of an injury-prone reindeer who saves Christmas. It's the night before Christmas, and Comet is ready...until he's injured in an unexpected elf incident and replaced by a rookie named Freddy. Comet can't believe his bad luck. Then he realises something even worse-in all the confusion, Santa has left the toys behind and isn't answering his phone. Injury and all, Comet sets out to deliver the presents, crisscrossing the globe from Japan and Egypt to France and Cleveland. After a run-in with a goose, a near miss with a minivan, and too many chimney crash landings to count, can Comet hobble his way into pulling off a Christmas miracle?

Jim Benton is the award-winning creator of the New York Times bestselling series Dear Dumb Diary and Franny K. Stein as well as the popular It's Happy Bunny brand. His books have sold more than fifteen million copies in twenty-five countries and have garnered numerous honors. Like Comet, Jim knows what it's like to hobble around in a cast; however, he is still learning to fly. Find out more about him at www.jimbenton.com.
