Valdes, David - Finding My Elf

Escaping to NYU for college didn't turn out the way Cam had envisioned—flunking his theater classes, about to lose his scholarship, and totally friendless. When he gets a job as a mall elf at Santaland for the holidays, he figures it's the perfect way to escape his pathetic life and maybe even find some Christmas magic.

But nothing could prepare Cam for the enchanting and infuriating elf Marco, who seems to have a knack for making Cam question everything he thought he knew about himself. As Cam and Marco grow closer, Cam starts to wonder if maybe there's more to this Christmas magic than he ever could have imagined.
