The Legend of Auggie the Awkward Elf by Stacy A. Powell (2001, Paperback)

A young elf goes to work in Santa's toy shop, but poor Auggie can't seem to get anything right. The harder he tries, the bigger his blunders. It's the story of a young mans struggles, mishaps, misfortunes, perservance, and triumphs, through his first job to find his rightful place in life. His goofups are funny, his demeanor,loveable, as he comes to terms with himself and emerges in the end as everyones hero.

From the first page to the last(117pg), it held my interest. I laughed, I cried, and I empathized, and in the end I got that warm feeling as if I could go to sleep with a smile on my face thinking all is well in the world.

It's a great Christmas book for children from 2 to 92(all ages). Written in a style that promotes good clean morals and family values.

My first impression of the book was that it would make a great TV movie, like Frosty the Snowman, or Rudolph the Red Nosed Reindeer. The author has also written a screenplay.

Perhaps you know someone who would be interested in producing such a show. Order your copy today and decide for yourself if you think it is a worthwhile venture. Anyone reading the book, will find a little of themselves in either Auggie, or his cast of friends.
