The Herdmans are the worst kids in the history of
the world. They lie, steal, smoke cigars, swear, and
hit little kids. So no one is prepared when this
outlaw family invades church one Sunday and
decides to take over the annual Christmas pageant.
None of the Herdmans has ever heard the
Christmas story before. Their interpretation of the
tale — the Wise Men are a bunch of dirty spies and
Herod needs a good beating — has a lot of people
up in arms. But it will make this year's pageant the
most unusual anyone has seen and, just possibly,
the best one ever.
