Synopsis "Great Pirate Christmas Battle, The"

Yo ho-ho-ho! Michael Lewis's sea-faring Santa tale is surely the best buried treasure you'll ever uncover! The Great Pirate Christmas Battle is so funny you'll shiver your timbers with laughter and clap your hands! Unless you have a hook for a hand. Then you probably shouldn't do that.--Butch Hartman, voice actor for Family Guy, writer for Dexter's Laboratory and The Powerpuff Girls, and creator of The Fairly OddParentsTake to the high seas with this mordantly witty tale of tinsel and terror. Cap'n McNasty and his rapscallions gleefully plunder children's presents--until Santa Claus and his feisty elves swoop in to put an end to their naughty ways!

Michael Lewis (New Orleans, 1960) is a renowned American writer and journalist specialized in economics, finance, and popular culture. Graduated in Art History from Princeton University and with a master's in Economics from the London School of Economics, he worked as a bond trader at Salomon Brothers, an experience he narrated in his first book, Liar’s Poker (1989). Since then, he has published numerous non-fiction works that combine rigorous research with an accessible and engaging narrative

Among his most notable titles are Moneyball: Breaking the Rules (2003), The Blind Side (2006), The Big Short (2010), and Flash Boys: The Wall Street Revolution (2014). Several of these works have been successfully adapted into films, including Moneyball and The Big Short, the latter winning the Oscar for Best Adapted Screenplay. His most recent book, Going Infinite (2023), addresses the rise and fall of Sam Bankman-Fried and the FTX platform. Lewis has been awarded prizes such as the Gerald Loeb Award and was elected a member of the American Academy of Arts and Sciences in 2023.
