This little novel is full of fantastic imagery and characters that warm your heart. I highly suggest reading this book out loud to your kids. Very touching and exciting at the same time. A perfect gift as well.
A MUST READ!
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 24 years ago
When I read a book, it's rare that I get so involved in the story that I lose track of everything else. This is the only book in years that I read from cover to cover in one sitting. A great read, with great characters.
Story the whole family can enjoy
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 24 years ago
Little Ellie Claus is a charming, whimsical story the whole family will enjoy. Kids will find the story a suspenseful blend of fantasy and reality. Adults will get a kick out of the author's witty, unconventional vision of the North Pole, where the likes of Plato, Van Gogh and Einstein rub elbows with the elves. This would make a super gift for Christmas, or better yet to read as a family as Christmas approaches.

I loved this book! This delightful novel can be enjoyed by both children and adults... very much like Harry Potter. In so many places I laughed out loud and then I'd be moved to tears. Filled with vivid characters, humor, and poignancy, it's a magical tale in the true spirit of the holidays.
