The Santa Trap by Jonathan Emmett
A spoiled, greedy, and naughty boy matches wits with Santa Claus in this hilariously wicked Christmas read-aloud. Bradley Bartleby is bad. Very bad. In order to avoid Bradley's wrath, his wealthy parents buy him whatever he wants. All the adults in Bradley's life are running scared―except for Santa Claus, who refuses to give him anything but socks. But Bradley vows to get what he deserves. If Santa won't give him the gifts he wants, Bradley will just have to steal them. He transforms his house into a trap so fearsome even his parents refuse to enter. With dynamite, trapdoors, guillotines, and tigers in his path, Santa doesn't stand a chance. Or does he? Jonathan Emmett gives readers a Christmas tale from a new and devious perspective.A spoiled, greedy, and naughty boy matches wits with Santa Claus in this hilariously wicked Christmas read-aloud.
