The Christmas Poop Plan

Elves are naughty. Troublemakers. Pranksters. Tinkers. But you've never met elves like this. Stanky, Planky, and Cranky are forever causing trouble in the Gibbs' house - and they always get away with it too. However, the Gibbs family has a new pet - a beautiful puppy called Archie - who rumbles the elves' horrible games straight away. So the rotten elves hatch a terrible, stinky plan to get rid of the innocent dog once and for all: The Christmas Poop Plan. It's a plan so evil and foul that it will ruin Christmas for the entire family. However Stanky, Cranky and Planky are about to find out what happens when you are meanies all of the time... The Christmas Poop Plan is a funny Christmas book aimed at children aged between four and eight. Written by bestselling author Martin Smith and his seven-year-old daughter Emily, it is a festive story about hope, being brave, never giving up and ... lots of poop. The story behind The Poop Plan. Martin has cystic fibrosis and wrote the bestselling Charlie Fry Series after retiring from work due to a deterioration in his condition. Emily has always wanted to write a book with her dad - and came up with the characters and plot herself. All Martin did was transform the wonderful ideas into a story for primary school children to be able to enjoy. Why The Christmas Poop Plan? The book was originally called The Christmas Miracle - except that had already been taken. We had the same problem with The Christmas Angel. Yet the book is centred around the elves' dastardly plan to ruin Christmas through poop - so The Christmas Poop Plan seemed the logical choice! Who will the book appeal to? It is aimed at children aged between four and eight. If you like an elf on the shelf with a dose of David Walliams too, then this will be right up your street!
