Description
++the g’norr are your friends—welcome them—love, serve, obey++
It’s Christmastime, and a full-scale covert alien invasion is underway! Bullied back into service, retired g’norr squadleader Sneet must help claim the primitive planet Earth for the glory of the G’norr Dominion by undertaking a mission that involves brainwashing human children in preparation for the takeover…all while working undercover as a shopping mall Santa.
With the might and technology of a galaxy-spanning extraterrestrial empire pitted against a bunch of primitive juvenile primates, nothing could possibly go wrong. Right?
Right…?

ll I Want for Christmas is a wildly entertaining, laugh-out-loud sci-fi romp that turns the holiday season into an intergalactic fiasco. Sneet, a retired alien squad leader, is dragged back into action to brainwash human kids for an invasion—disguised as a mall Santa. The premise alone had me hooked, but what really made this book stand out was the sharp humor and clever satire on both alien and human absurdities. It’s the perfect mix of chaos, comedy, and Christmas spirit (sort of), and I couldn’t put it down. If you love sci-fi with a side of ridiculous fun, this one’s for you.

Thank you for the advanced copy! This was a great story for young readers and very well written! The pictures were entertaining!

Who knew that Christmas, alien mind control, and a grumpy extraterrestrial in a Santa suit would make for the most unhinged holiday story ever?! All I Want for Christmas is pure chaotic genius, packed with laugh-out-loud moments and a plot that spirals into delightful madness. Sneet is the ultimate reluctant hero, and watching him try to outsmart a bunch of tiny human primates is absolute comedy gold. If you like your sci-fi with a big dose of ridiculous fun and just a sprinkle of holiday cheer, grab this book immediately! 🎅👽😂

Welp, I have another humorous Christmas horror story I can add to my collection. This tiny sub genre is one of my favorites -- there's just something so fun about these wild Christmas adventures.
An alien comes to Earth at Christmas and takes over a mall Santa to blend in. He tries to fulfill his plans of world domination, but the kids won't cooperate! Hilarious, short and satisfying.
Thanks to NetGalley for letting me read this
