"A delightful combination of Charles Dickens, The Santa Clause, and The Polar Express."

"You know all of those wonderful classical Christmas stories that we can't get enough of and watch or read year after year? Well, it looks like I just found another one."

"This book is a fun retelling of the story of Santa. It would be great for a elementary or middle schooler who wants to read something different for Christmas."

"This was a very well written book. Quite a few twists and turns and in my opinion a good read for old and young alike! I'm 70 and enjoyed it as much as I would have at 10."

"Parsons keeps the excitement building and weaves a great story. I hated to put it down."

"What a delight! I read this little gem of a book in week one of a new book club. This is a warm and cosy story with a dark edge. The descriptive passages are beautiful (and at times a little magical!) and instantly conjure up bright cinematic images in your mind. This is definitely a story to devour in one sitting, in a cosy armchair with warm lighting and a hot drink (perhaps a mulled wine...). I can't wait until my daughter is old enough to appreciate this story too so we can enjoy it together!"
