5.0 out of 5 stars Treasure, fierce Vikings, and a secret elf civilization, February 4, 2002

By 

Midwest Book Review (Oregon, WI USA) - See all my reviews

This review is from: The Adventures of Young Santa (Paperback)

Written for young readers ages 8 to 12, The Adventures Of Young Santa is an action/adventure novel of a young man who becomes a reluctant hero in an age of sword fighting, dank castles, hidden treasure, fierce Vikings, and a secret elf civilization. The young man destined to become the archetypal symbol of peace, hope and good will, must first experience daring escapes from terrible dangers, all the while dealing with deceit, jealousy, and young romance. Highly recommended for school and community library collections, The Adventures Of Young Santa reveals where Santa was born, who his parents were, the origins of Mrs. Claus, how Santa got his name, -- even why bad kids get coal in their stocking!
