Yuletide Perils
Jon and the other Battlers have been kidnapped by a
polar bear named Polar Tundros, also known as “the Gamester.” And he’s forcing
them all to play games in his Palace of Fun. Games that are more dangerous than
any the world’s ever seen.
Jon and the others initially refuse the
challenge, but Gamester and his sidekick, Funguin, are holding something over
their heads. Something that’ll ruin all Christmases to come. They are holding
Santa Claus as their prisoner. . . .
