The No-Good Nine, Paperback

Hang on for a wild ride when you roll with the No-Good Nine

The No-Good Nine are the kids your parents warned you to stay away from. The ragtag band of misfits lie, steal, run away from home, and even burn down Santa's toy factory. (They say it was an accident.) Anyway, Santa had it coming--he put coal in their stockings. Full of laughs and double-crosses, this tongue-in-cheek romp is for readers who like their Christmas spirit irreverent rather than sentimental.

John Bemelmans Marciano collaborated with Sophie Blackall on the middle-grade novel The Nine Lives of Alexander Baddenfield as well as the Witches of Benevento series. Continuing his grandfather's legacy, John wrote and illustrated Madeline and Cats of Rome, Madeline and the Old House in Paris, Madeline at the White House, and Madeline Says Merci. He is also the author of two adult books of nonfiction.
