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. . . .
