Nickolas Claus : Ghosts of Christmas Past

Résumé

Sixteen-year-old Nickolas is the only son of the man known to the world as Santa Claus.

Constantly surrounded by the glitter and glitz of a Christmas season that never ends, and by enthusiastic, over-achiever elves who only appear to share his age, Nick wants nothing more than to escape the North Pole. To go where he can see the ocean instead of endless ice. He longs to attend a normal school with normal kids. He wants a real life. Though Christmas is a time of hope, of wonder and magic, it is also a time of strangeness. Of lurking shadows and unexplained occurrences.

This year, when a ghost of Christmas Past is awakened, old secrets are unearthed. The bright candy shell skin of Nick’s world is peeled away, revealing a much darker layer. He is not who—or what—he has been led to believe. And neither are those closest to him.
