Description

<p>When Jessica Bryant pesters her wealthy parents to allow her to have a dog as a pet, the answer is a resounding &quot;No&quot;; but they soon come to regret their decision when thier home is broken into one evening whilst they are out and their daughter kidnapped and held for ransom. The kidnappers, in the form of four seedy and incompetent characters wearing Disneyland-type masks, take her hostage and keep her incarcerated in a place from which there appears to be no escape. However, they reckon without the resourcefulness of our heroine, and the courage of a wonderful stray dog who comes to her aid and whom she names 'Murdo'. And so begins an exciting and humurous accounting of the couples' adventures together as they consistently foil and outwit the abductors whilst on the run together.<br /> This is a lovely story of the friendship between a girl and a dog, bringing out themes of responsibility, camaraderie, redemption, salvation and self-sacrifice. It includes some wonderful dialogue sequences as Jessica teaches her new four-legged friend how to communicate with her, with additional delightful conversations between the animals when a rabbit and a sparrow join forces with them in an effort to outwit the kidnappers and restore Jessica safely back to her parents' home. </p>

Story Behind The Book

As a child I loved the story, Rudolph the Red-nosed Reindeer and wondered why Santa and Mrs. Claus never had children. I thought that a Santa child would be a good way to bring new life to the Santa Story. Thus the story Santa Boy began and evolved over thirty-five years! Since there was a song for Rudolph, I wrote one that follows the story line for Santa Boy. Upon becoming a grandfather I dug out my treasured manuscript, and with the help of my daughter, Caroline, who enjoyed the story when she was a child, revived it. My daughter Christine sings the Santa Boy song.
