Paul Nicholas is sure that this Christmas will be the absolute best. For once he has a great girlfriend, Sarah, who just happens to love Christmas as much as he does, or at least the present part; he's got the job of being the mall Santa Claus, and he's getting the absolute perfect present this year, a jeep. Everything is just fine, beyond fine, until Paul loses his lucky Santa hat, and everything goes wrong. First he finds his girlfriend making out with the mall Santa Claus, who just happens to be the same one who'll be training him for his job next week, his father electrocutes himself while putting up Christmas lights, and almost burns down the house at the same time, and his mother loses her job. Now, the kid who has always been the biggest nut over Christmas, has decided to get even with the holiday, and everything associated with it.

As someone who absolutely LOVES reading books about the Christmas season, I was ecstatic to find JINGLE BOY. Not only is it one of the only teen fiction Christmas books on the market, but it is also one of the funniest I've ever read. Reminiscent of John Grisham's SKIPPING CHRISTMAS, JINGLE BOY is a must for all who love (or hate) the holiday season. It will keep you laughing out loud throughout the entire holiday season. Possibly longer. Don't miss it.

My son (age 11) and I both enjoyed this book. He had trouble putting it down after he started reading.

This is the story of Paul Nicholas, a teenager who loves all things Christmas. Until, that is, he loses his hat, to which he attributes all his good Christmas fortune. From that moment on everything goes wrong, very wrong. Event after bad event make him lose his Christmas spirit, and the fun loving, Jingle Boy, turns into a vengeful, anti-Christmas hooligan. This book was well-written, funny, romantic, and had great lessons, to boot. I would recommend this book to anyone who wants to laugh, cry and enjoy a wonderful read! Kudos to Kieran Scott.

This book was amazing. It's the perfect novel to read even if it isn't Christmas time. It's hilariously funny, with memorable characters and a catchy plot. A must-read for all fans of teen fiction!
