A Chance Encounter With The Bedbugs Carmelo Reinsch

A really exciting and magical story. It's nicely written while not sounding too adult, but managing to keep away from the mildly patronizing tone that some kid's books have. It's perfect for this time of year to get the kids in the Christmassy mood and is entertaining enough so that adults won't mind reading it.

A chance encounter with the 'monsters' beneath his bed on Christmas Eve, take the nine-year-old Tommy on a thrilling roller-coaster adventure that leads to the discovery of the 'real' Santa Clause! A compelling and humorous short novel that brings together a cast of colorful characters:
-Tommy: A well-meant, but slightly spoilt 9-year old, who needs to be taught the true meaning of Christmas!
-The Bedbugs: Iggy, Ziggy & Lou, whose diverse personalities make for instant comedy!
-Santa: An ordinary guy, trying to hold down a very extraordinary job!
-Rudolph: The infamous reindeer, whose fame and fortune have totally gone to his head!
