Eight-year-old Michael Flintlock’s world is upended when he catches his Grandpa wearing a Santa suit—
shattering his belief in the jolly old fellow.

Disillusioned, Michael channels his frustration into his artwork—unknowingly bringing a new, extraordinary Santa to life. But this Santa isn’t here to deliver gifts. Instead, he whisks Michael and his family into a world shaped by imagination and mystery.

Separated across surreal landscapes, each family member must confront their deepest flaws and learn to understand one another—before they are lost forever…
in this fantastical world.

Fantastical Nature is a 25,000-words middle-grade fantasy novel that intertwines holiday magic with a child’s boundless creativity, with a blend of whimsical adventure and heartfelt themes, in the vein of The Neverending Story and The Marvelous Land of Oz.
