The Santa Claus Kidnap Don Luis Zavala

Last Christmas, eight-year-old Harvey asked Santa Claus to cure his mother of cancer. His wish was ignored. As money was needed to pay for her treatment, his family lost many things, including their happiness upon facing her ill-timed death. Determined to make things fair, Harvey elaborates a scheme to ensnare Santa the moment he shows up in his living room on Christmas Eve. His goal is to take as many materials from his sack as possible and help his family recover everything they lost. Although he keeps the plan secret, Harvey's best friend and neighbor, Dylan, uncovers it. He brings word to their two amigos: Corey and Brandon. One wants to help, the other believes it is immoral to pursue such a thing, even if the heist is veiled with good intentions. Harvey doesn't care about anyone's opinion and is resolute on abducting Santa alone. With Christmas rapidly approaching, the group is hounded by Garrett, the most vicious bully in school. As someone who enjoys destroying whomever gets in his path, his atrocities render Harvey powerless to pursue his holiday plan. Scandalized by what happens, Dylan feels obligated to resurrect his friend's objective at a length he never imagined. Don Luis Zavala is the author of Secrets and Oh My Holy Phone. The Santa Claus Kidnap is his third published novel.
