Eustace Stout is an eleven-year-old boy, whose father is an inventor and toymaker. They live in the town of Snowville where all the people are out of work due to Global Warming causing the factory to close. Since he has so many toys, Eustace does not want any for Christmas. So he writes a Christmas list to Santa asking to bring jobs to Snowville, and tells his dad that for Christmas he wants to go swimming in the lake, which, unfortunately, is totally frozen. He asks his dad to invent a lake heating tool, but dad is too busy, so Eustace decides to find a way to unfreeze the lake by himself (withhisdogWidget). What happens next is a delightful story for all ages, with an ending that summons the joy and magic of Christmas. The creativity of an eleven-year-old boy not only fulfills Eustace’s wish to go swimming, but also saves the town of Snowville!
