Description

When Santa gets snowed in at the North Pole, it's up to three heroes from Quirkville to save the day--but they're in for an ooey-gooey surprise!

Reginald (the zombie), Zarfon (the alien), and Abigail Zink (the human) are all preparing for Christmas in Quirkville when the terrible news breaks: Christmas is Canceled! Santa is snowed in at the North Pole. The three friends hatch a plan to save the day. They load into Zarfon's spaceship--along with lots of peanut butter for a surprise Christmas delivery to his home planet later on--and head straight for the North Pole. When they arrive, they find that Santa and his elves are trapped, not by snow, but by a marshmallow cream explosion.

With a little bit of creativity, a little bit of Christmas spirit, and one big Ka-Pow!, the pals from Quirkville save Christmas and inadvertently create a delicious treat!

Publishers Weekly

In a follow-up to Peanut Butter & Brains and Peanut Butter & Aliens, the characters from Quirkville--Reginald, a gentle blue zombie, alien peanut-butter transporter Zarfon, and resourceful heroine Abigail Zink--zip off to the North Pole in a spaceship. Why? Christmas has been canceled on account of a storm, and Santa Claus needs saving. When they arrive, they learn that it's not the snow impacting the visibility--it's marshmallow cream. The solution, shown in Santoso's expressive art: scooping up the sticky mess and making using what's on hand to set things right. McGee again delivers an unlikely mash-up of zombies, aliens, and food for readers who just might prefer Halloween over Christmas. Ages 3-7. (Oct.)
