Beneath the Arctic Polar Ice Cap, deep underground, is a bustling community with one mission and one mission only - to make Christmas happen. Have you ever wondered how Santa can pop out of a chimney without a soot stain on his red velvet? Elves, of course - fully trained at the Elf Academy in chimney sweeping! And does Santa REALLY have time to check if every single child's been naughty or nice? Of course not - that's why he created the CIA (Christmas Intelligence Agency) to train elves to spy on children. And where do all those Santas in department store grottoes come from? The Santa Academy, of course. How Santa Really Works is a true scoop on how Santa does what he does so well, brilliantly conceived by Alan Snow.

About this title

Synopsis

Top-secret information on Santa (Shhhhhhhh...)
Intrepid Santa-tracker Alan Snow has traveled up through Lapland to the far reaches of the Arctic Circle in search of the ever-elusive Mr. Claus. There, beneath the polar cap, deep underground, he found
a bustling community with one mission and one mission only -- to make Christmas happen.
Have you ever wondered how Santa knows exactly when you fall asleep?
Does he really have time to check if every single child's been naughty or nice?
And maybe more important, what do the naughty kids actually end up with?
These are but a few of the questions you've never had answers for...until now. How Santa Really Works is the real scoop on how Santa does what he does so well.
