The Gryphon Chronicles! A rollicking fantasy adventure series that’s as much fun for grownups as it is for kids.A very special Gryphon Chronicles story, for all those who love A Christmas Carol and savor the joys and traditions of a Victorian Christmas.(Note: This book can stand alone without having read the rest of the series.)Peace on Earth, Goodwill to Men…and Gingerbread Men?!After his harsh beginnings as a rough-and-tumble orphan on the streets of Victorian London, Jake Everton, the twelve-year-old Lord Griffon, takes his rightful place as the long-lost heir of an aristocratic family with magical powers—his personal quest, to follow in his slain parents’ footsteps as a Lightrider in the age-old battle of good versus evil.

Now it’s Jake’s first Christmas with his eccentric magical relatives…but trouble never takes a holiday.Santa’s Horrid Little HelperHumbug hates being a Christmas elf. Instead of making toys, he’d rather make mischief. Angling for a new job in Halloween Town, he sets out to prove he’s frightful enough for the post by ruining Christmas for as many people as possible—until Jake and his friends manage to capture the little troublemaker, determined to put a stop to his devious schemes.When the kids find out that Santa is offering a reward of ‘One Christmas Wish Granted’ for the safe return of his runaway elf, the gang sets out on a rip-roaring, snowbound adventure to the North Pole to hand Humbug over and collect the bounty.
