What happens when Priscilla and her best friend decide to take a trip to the North Pole to search out the real Santa after seeing so many fakes at the mall?

PRISCILLA AND THE GREAT SANTA SEARCH is a really cute story, starring Priscilla and her best friend Bettina, who find themselves on the trek to the North Pole. On the way they encounter snowball bunnies, the Abominable Snowgirl, Jan of the faraway clan who tries to warn them about the impending fifty-year storm. But when the storm gets bad and they’re forced to go home, will they find proof they actually found the real Santa or was their trip nothing more than a fun day out?

Filled with cute illustrations and an equally fun story, fans of the ‘Priscilla’ series will love this new holiday themed edition. I really thought this was a fun story about Priscilla and her best friend going off on an adventure to find the ‘real’ Santa after seeing so many fakes in the mall. I really liked characters they encounter on their journey and the illustrations really add to the story.

Jocelyn and Nathaniel Hobbie are the daughter and son of our bestselling author/artist, Holly Hobbie. Jocelyn holds a B.F.A. from RISD and works for a contemporary art dealer in New York, NY. Nathaniel Hobbie is also a fine artist who works with metal and wood. PRISCILLA AND THE GREAT SANTA SEARCH is their fourth book for children featuring the adorable Priscilla.
