Families bring their nine-year-old daughters to a boarding school which is a front for something entirely different. It is a toy factory and assembly line inspired by two school leaders' sinister plan to kidnap Santa Claus. They want the only remaining toy outlet for Christmas and thus, money. The girls, through creative problem solving, manage to thwart the twisted plans of these two women once they come together as a team. The women ultimately go to jail and while the primary camp leader still hates everything including food and living things, her cohort decides she'd rather be kind than mean. The girls are reunited with their families. I give this 3 out of 5 stars and recommend it for ages 8 to12, plus adults. Reviewed by Juror #11.

Children attending a new boarding school quickly realize that things are not as they seem. Ms. Kelly and her bumbling side kick are more like drill instructors than teachers, and just what are they hiding? Can the children outsmart their teachers? Can the children come together to work as a team? Most of all, can they discover the secret of the "Toy Factory"?
