Of course, Penzi accepts the task and does her best with the help of the High Council of the Guild of White Witches.This story was written in December 2016 to earn royalties to be donated to UNICEF for the children of Syria for a year. It is not a who-dunnit like the other stories in the series, but is rather a tale of how-to-do-it to a nasty monster. Although part of the series, it is a stand-alone novella and is a story suitable for reading to or with children. However, the vocabulary is set at an adult level so children may need some simplification, which leads to fun between parent and child at Christmastime.
