15.5 Old Saint Nick

Saint Nicholas' Day is celebrated on December 6th to honor Saint Nicholas. Saint Nicholas was known to throw small bags of gold coins into the open windows of poor homes. After one bag of gold fell into the stocking of a child, news got around. Children soon began hanging their stockings by their chimneys “in hopes that St. Nicholas soon would be there”. The names Santa Claus, Father Christmas, and Kris Kringle are all common names for Saint Nicholas.

For this task read a book with a single author who shares initials with one of these names. The initials may be reversed in order but must match a single name. Middle initials may be ignored.
Initials are SC, CS, KK, FC, CF, SN, NS
Required: State the name.

Yes, that book will work. I am also planning to read a Neal Shusterman book for this task.
