TL Johnson presents a heartwarming holiday tale the whole family can enjoy. Every year at Christmas we hear about the good kids and the bad kids—but what about the children who fall right in the middle?
These children are called the Bubble Kids. They are not too naughty, but not quite nice, and only one elf can decide their fate: the Christmas Closer. As Christmas draws near and time runs out, Santa’s top elf must step in and help save the season. But with only a few days left, will he have enough time to turn things around?
