Description

Glaciers Melt and Mountains Smoke by Joe Moore is the dramatic and thought-provoking finale to The Santa Claus Trilogy, where fantasy meets environmental urgency.

Overview The North Pole is in peril. As the ice beneath Santa's village begins to melt, buildings plunge into the Arctic Ocean and the magical world of Christmas teeters on the brink of collapse. Santa must rally his elves, family, and even past recipients of his goodwill to save the operation before it disappears forever.

But the challenges go beyond nature. Santa faces cyberbullying, logistical chaos, and the daunting task of relocating the entire North Pole village. Mrs. Claus takes charge of finding a new, secret location-one that balances secrecy, sustainability, and hope.
