Advance Praise
MOVIE RIGHTS SOLD! Vicki Rocco of Modern Family optioned the movie rights of William Hazelgrove's Real Santa for her production company Small But Mighty Productions with an eye to a feature or a made for television movie. Ms. Rocco has to her credits, Modern Family, Arrested Development, Stand and Deliver, U23D, Empire Dreams, Heather, Britany Spears Live, and sees Real Santa as a classic that will pull in people hungry for a new take on the Christmas movie. "No one has done this. No one has taken on the physics of being Santa Claus. It is funny and heartwarming and has all the things we look for in any great Christmas movie."
“Hazelgrove marries the everyday dramas found in the novels of Tom Perrotta and Nick Hornby to the high camp of Carl Hiaasen or Dave Barry ... adults looking for a funny, holiday-themed tale that doesn’t lose its sense of wonder in the face of realism will find a treat here. A lovingly crafted comedy about the madness that fatherhood inspires.” —Kirkus Reviews
“Hazelgrove’s lively, improbable narrative will appeal to readers in the mood for holiday fiction.” —Publishers Weekly
“If somebody doesn’t make a movie out of this book, there’s something wrong with the world. Beautifully done.” —Booklist Starred Review
