review 1: This was a very cute Christmas story. I was expecting cutesy, but the level this author takes the cute walks the fine line of unbearable. The vocabulary the author created to tell this story was incredibly detailed. Her commitment to her story telling style never wavers. Candace Kringle is Santa Claus' teenage daughter. This is her coming of age story. She has a wacky and interesting group of friends that get themselves into some North Pole size trouble. Candy meets Rudy, the new boy. Rudy moves to the North Pole with his dentist father (and boy do they need one). Rudy is the North Pole version of a bad boy. Candy and Rudy are paired up for a school project. Hijinks ensue and love blossoms. Candy, Santa and the whole town learn to see people for who they really are in orde... morer to save Christmas. This was an enjoyable holiday read. I would especially recommend for middle school ages.
review 2: Reading this book was like eating your favorite candy. It's fun and sweet, you just can't help but smile the entire time, and you can't stop eating it until it's all gone. This is a really fun Christmas story. The characters and setting are cartoonish and colorful and fun in the best way. The details really make this book come alive. From the food (marzipan-glazed turkey stuffed with bubblegum, anyone?) to the character names (Snowflake, Silentnight, Johnny Toboggan) to the anthropomorphic penguin chef and polar bear teachers, I felt like I could really see this world and it's characters in all it's quirkiness.This was a quick read. Candy falls for the new boy in school, Rudy, who doesn't have the same love of Christmas as everyone else in the North Pole. Is he a Scrooge or is there something deeper going on in his heart? Candy and Rudy get into all sorts of trouble along the way - including meeting the Abominable Snowman and dealing with elves high on 'toe (that's mistletoe to you and me). The plot was exciting and fun and there were a lot of laugh out loud moments. The writing is filled with clever puns and word usage that really made this a joy to read and kept a smile on my face,Candy's story is a very sweet Christmas story of redemption and finding your Christmas Spirit. It's about coming-of-age and learning to trust your own heart. It's also about growing up and letting go of childhood to accept responsibility while still retaining the magic that lets you believe in Santa.This book has all the makings of a holiday classic. It would make a fantastic movie and I would love to see these characters brought to life on the big screen. I can see this book becoming a fun holiday tradition for many readers and I would love to read more about Candy in the future. I was hooked from the very first page and couldn't put it down. I would recommend this to anyone looking for a light, fun holiday read and for those with Christmas Spirit.Note: I received a copy of this book for free as a part of the promotional book tour organized by Bewitching Book Tours. This in no way influenced my review. All opinions are honest and 100% my own. less
