The North Pole Challenge (Flea’s Five Christmases E-Book # 1) for Kindle is a magical story that starts off with Old Man Winter, he loves winter so much but he loves the people who inhabit the earth as well. Old Man Winter although powerful enough to make the whole world winter all the time does not, he wants people to experience the joys of winter and does everything he can to maintain the earths balance, he makes sure to make winter cold with white snow, but when it is time for warm weather he lets it come because he knows it must be but always leaving his beloved south pole in a wintery chill. To make his dreams come true, a young boy with bright blue eyes and snow white spiky hair is brought to the world from Old Man Winter’s own creation of snow and from there on to become known as Father Winter and the young boy that we follow through this magical tale of winter solace is Flea. Flea a talented young boy, who we follow throughout the story on a journey, is not the most popular but is a very talented craftsman and finds out his true identity through a series of events. Meeting others like him elves and other characters are introduced through the story as well such as Jack Frost, Polar Bear General, Snowman military and more.

The Book:
Synopsis
Flea has always been different from other students in school. He’s not smart or athletic, he’s shorter than kids five years younger than him and his facial features are so pointy that everyone avoids him. His foster mother constantly warns him to avoid attention, though Flea has no idea who’s after them. But Flea has recently discovered several abilities that change his life forever: snowy weather follows him wherever he goes, he stops snowballs in mid-flight and he builds anything in shop class in the matter of minutes despite his lack of training. An appearance on The Great Build-Off – a popular construction game show – leads him to a magical place he thought existed only in Christmas stories.
At the North Pole, Flea feels even more like an outsider. In fact, this storybook village reminds him of every school he’d ever attended, complete with overachievers and underachievers, popular elves and outcasts, even elves who aren’t afraid to march to their own beat. But during his training to become a proper builder elf, he discovers that the North Pole has an arch-nemesis bent on invading the elfish lands and ending Christmas forever. With a war looming against the South Pole, Flea’s sudden appearance at the North Pole is no coincidence, as he questions his role in the fate of the world’s greatest holiday.
“The North Pole Challenge” is not your typical Christmas story. Everyone knows about Santa Claus, his elves and the North Pole but this book provides a fresh outlook on the old familiar tales. Imagine Santa Claus as a reclusive loner, Rudolph as a narcissistic whiner, the elves as cruel party animals. And no great story would be complete without an enemy of epic proportions, another familiar Christmas name with a wicked past never before told…
Until now...
