Murder on 34th Street
It’s time for the 277th Annual Fakey's Holiday Parade! Department store supervisor Doris Skeptical is trying to keep everything running smoothly, but things seem to be going from bad to horribly bad. Some of the parade balloons have gotten loose, the main attraction is keeping warm at the bottom of a bottle, and her boss is on her back about sales and profits! She needs a miracle. Unfortunately, what she gets is … a murder. Someone is definitely trying to cancel the holidays. That’s why Doris has always taught her daughter Suzie that the holidays are a sham.
But when Suzie meets some magical holiday folks that make her start to wonder if her mom has gotten it wrong about the holidays. She travels to the North Pole to try and discover the truth, but ends up in a bigger mystery than anyone could possibly imagine. Suzie has to solve the murders, help her mom, and save the holidays in “The Trial of the Century”, all while making sure everyone gets their dinner on time!
Join Suzie, The Elf on the Shelf, The Grinch, and all of your favorite holiday characters as she faces off against every single holiday bad guy ever … and lawyers … and basically everyone who doesn’t believe. We’ll convince you that there’s no better way to celebrate the holidays than at Petite Violette!
