Meet a kid so bad, he gets a lump of coal every Christmas...and
likes it Neighborhood bully Buzz Scanlan takes pride in his annual
lump, which he sees as a black badge of badness. But this
Christmas, when the coal doesn't come, the ten-year-old holy terror
becomes a bad boy on a mission. He roams from one victim of his
wicked mischief to the next, digging for dirt on the one nice thing
he must have done to deserve no coal for Christmas. When everyone
agrees he's been nothing but naughty, he nearly gives up the
hunt...until he stumbles onto the shocking truth behind his lumps
of coal, an incredible secret that just might change his life
forever. Will Buzz get his lump after all, sealing his fate as the

than death for the naughtiest boy, an unexpected good deed that

Cary Beacon is a super-hero in his own mind. His mission to rescue
two endangered children leads him to Mexico, where he teams up with
a masked wrestler who is crazier than he is. As Cary and the
wrestler fight the battle of their lives to save the kids, Cary's
disappearance forces together his fractured family back home, torn
apart by a fiery tragedy decades ago. In their quest to find Cary,
his sisters and brother must break down walls, root out secrets,
and unmask an arch-enemy long thought dead. The parallel quests of
Cary and his family are linked to an explosive moment in real-life
history: the Ku Klux Klan's siege of the Pennsylvania mining town
of Lilly in 1924.
