These elves are off the shelves.Ollie and Celia think they know what the
life of an elf is supposed to be like: Make toys. Help Santa. Make more
toys. Help Santa. Try out a new ice-cream flavor. Help Santa.But then
Santa rocks the North Pole with a surprise announcement! He's decided
this is going to be his last year in the Big Red Suit--and instead of
letting his oldest son, the unfortunately named Klaus Claus, take over,
he's opening up the job to any kid who wants to apply--Claus or elf.
The Santa Trials have begun!Ollie and Celia enter the contest, having no
idea whatsoever that they'll soon have to squeeze through impossible
chimneys, race runaway sleighs, sweet-talk a squad of rowdy reindeer,
and consume cruel amounts of cookies and milk. It's both an adventure
and a survival test, far beyond what any elf or Claus has been asked to
do before. But whoever rises to the top will get a reward even bigger
than Christmas . .
The 411:
I am not done with the book yet but so far I am thoroughly enjoying it so wanted you to know
When Santa decides he wants to retire early but doesn't want to just hand the red suit down to his first son who would be the next in line to carry on the tradition of Santa. Instead he holds a contest that is open to anyone who wants to apply including the elves. This competition isn't easy after all it is a huge responsibility to be Santa.
I love Ollie and Celia two elves who enter the Santa Trials and found myself thinking that Top Shelf was a combination of The Hunger Games and Five Nights At Freddy's with a whole lot of humor and heart. The story is entertaining and moves along quickly.
Hopefully I can finish it tonight and hand it to my son so he can read it.
This is a great Christmas read.
