Carlett a wrote a lett er to Santa Claus. So did her classmates. Unfortunately, aft er the fi re-drill, Carlett a’s lett er was missing. It could not be found. Carlett a, the tallest third grader in the class, became upset, and stated that there were ‘thieves’ in the class. From that moment on, her lett er traveled surrepti ti ously and intenti onally, from one ‘thief’ to another ‘thief’. Mrs. Carter, Carlett a’s teacher, does her best, but she is helpless and without a clue as to how to recover the lett er.
