    About this ebook

    Can’t seem to stay off the naughty list? Does your behavior make the bad kids cry? Do you cheer when you find a lump of coal in your Christmas stocking? If so you’d better forget watching out and just start running, because Naughty Clause is coming to town.

    A Visit from Naughty Claus, a dark and dreary tale of Christmas woe in verse that follows the fateful Christmas night when a boy who just couldn't behave gets his just deserts, and it ain’t Christmas pudding with a sprig of holly in it either.

    Ready to start behaving?
