About this ebook
You better watch out. You better not fight.
You better not doubt I'm stealing this night.
Candy CLAWS is comin' to town!
Traverse City is home to three special superheroes. Meet Abigail, the oldest. When it comes to sports she can't be beat. Andrew is her twin. If it has wheels, he can ride it. Baby Zoe is the youngest but also the strongest. Don't let the diaper fool you.
In this adventure, Christmas is in danger. Candy bandits cheat down chimneys looking to poach presents placed under the tree. If the heroes don't wrap the bandits up tight, there won't even be coal in their stockings on Christmas morn.

Meet Abigail, the oldest of our heroes by a whole eight minutes. When it comes to sports, she can’t be beat—not at hurdles, not at hitting homeruns, and certainly not at hockey. Every year when the family picks out a Christmas tree, she can single-handedly deliver it safely onto the roof of the car. Too bad the tree toss isn’t an event in the Winter Olympics.
Andrew comes next. He’s Abigail’s twin brother, younger by a measly eight minutes. If it has wheels, Andrew can ride it. From Hum-vees to Harleys, he’s hip, happening, and a hotdog on wheels. On Christmas Eve, it’s his job to wrap the tree in lights.
Round and round, there he goes.
When he stops, everything glows.
Last but definitely not least is Baby Zoë. She’s proof that big things can come in small packages. She still
