Bennie Brat

Fishermans son Benjamin Bennie Stout is a boy with a heart of gold who always gets himself into trouble His St Nicholas wish list includes a pedal car just like the one the sneaky mayors son Roderick has These are the depression years in the 1930s and because the haul falls short his father stays in Spain a little longer to earn some extra money Bennie now only has one wish left that his father will come home If need be he will go and get him from Spain himself He catches Roderick erasing his name from the Bad Children list in St Nicholas Great Book when an idea occurs to him He quickly adds his name to the list which lands him a place in St Nicholas bag But the saint does not understand that Bennie doesnt mind going to Spain
