It is the week before Christmas and Shelia O'Reilly is taking care of the house, bossing her brothers around while her parents are away. As she watches her younger brothers get onto the spirit of the season, she wonders if she ever truly enjoyed Christmas when she was a child.
That night, an unannounced visitor with an unexpected request arrives at the house. One way or another, Christmas is never going to be the same again for Sheila, and maybe not for anyone! The dark forces that have gathered are threatening the very spirit of Christmas itself. Sheila, along with her brothers and her newfound friends, must find a way to prevail.
Will Shelia be able to help save Santa or, will it be too late?
Operation: Save Santa by D.T. Ihaza is an action-packed, adventure-laden Christmas tale that is perfectly paced. Suitable for readers of ages 8 years and up, the story is universal and will have resonances with all age groups (especially those who are young at heart). Some may even detect echoes of J.M. Barrie's timeless tale of childhood and growing up.
D.T. Ihaza was born in Benin City, Nigeria but has lived in Ireland for more than a decade. He has always had a passion for creative writing. Operation: Save Santa is his first book. It has been followed by Kazoo the Singing Bird … and other stories, published in 2020.
