Story
Twelve-year-old Percy Jackson is about to be kicked out of boarding school...again. No matter how hard he tries, he can't seem to stay out of trouble. But can he really be expected to stand by and watch while a bully picks on his scrawny best friend? Or not defend himself against his pre-algebra teacher when she turns into a monster and tries to kill him? Of course, no one believes Percy about the monster incident; he's not even sure he believes himself.

The holiday film A Christmas Story, first released in 1983, has become a bona fide Christmas perennial, gaining in stature and fame with each succeeding year. Its affectionate, wacky, and wryly realistic portrayal of an American family's typical Christmas joys and travails in small-town Depression-era Indiana has entered our imagination and our hearts with a force equal to It's a Wonderful Life and Miracle on 34th Street.

The kingdom of Cornucopia was once the happiest in the world. It had plenty of gold, a king with the finest moustache you could possibly imagine, and butchers, bakers, and cheesemongers whose exquisite foods made a person dance with delight when they ate them. Everything was perfect - except for the misty Marshlands to the north, which, according to legend, were home to the monstrous Ickabog. Anyone sensible knew that the Ickabog was just a myth to scare children into behaving. But the funny thing about myths is that sometimes they take on a life of their own.

Story
Ever since Ms. Murphy told us about the witch trials that happened centuries ago right here in Juniper, I can’t stop thinking about them. Those people weren’t magic. They were like me. Different like me. I’m autistic. I see things that others do not. I hear sounds that they can ignore. And sometimes I feel things all at once. I think about the witches, with no one to speak for them. Not everyone in our small town understands. But if I keep trying, maybe someone will. I won’t let the witches be forgotten. Because there is more to their story. Just like there is more to mine.

Critic reviews
"Olivia Forrest, with a few words from author Eoin Colfer, charmingly narrates this magical story of Santa Claus.... Forrest gives a spirited portrayal of Juniper as she teams up with an endearing reindeer named Skara to outsmart the villains. Forrest enchants as she delivers descriptions of Earth from above, the alluring winter snowscape, and jokes. This delightful listen will likely become a Christmas tradition." (AudioFile)
"Colfer weaves a love story with numerous characters . . . [centered] on the determined efforts of his perceptive and big-hearted young protagonist. A soaring flight fueled by joys, sorrows, and deeds both ill and good."—Kirkus, starred review
"A warmhearted Christmas novel. . . [with] a fresh spin on familiar holiday themes, including forgiveness, healing, and hope."—Publishers Weekly, starred review
"Colfer is a master storyteller . . . A delightful tale. Readers will enjoy the imaginative story filled with lush prose and a heartwarming ending."—School Library Journal

Story
Ada always looks forward to her summers at the family villa with her mother and grandmother in a Turkish seaside town. It’s easy to leave life in California behind when the days are filled with boat rides, games at the beach, and long swims with friends. But no matter how much Ada feels she belongs in the country where her mother grew up, deep down, her connection to the culture seems as fleeting as the seasons. It’s certainly no help that her mother has lost her own sense of self, rootless and disoriented after so many years abroad.

A Christmas story for Fowl fans
Naturally when I saw Eoin Colfer had written a Christmas book, the first thing I wondered was if it took place in the Artemis Fowl world.
And while it's not out right stated, none of the added lore contradicts the Artemis Fowl farie lore.
The actual story revolves around a young girl named Juniper Lane, and she is a likeable and capable eleven-year-old.
Nico/Santa is probably one of the most unique depictions I've come across in awhile. I really loved that even though he gave up on Christmas, he still kept giving to those most in need. I mean it really is a much better use of the magic resources.
The villain of the story, Trude Madden, is oddly forgettable. I guess it's because like most Christmas tales the real villain isn't a person but humanity's unwillingness to believe in a little Christmas magic.
The plot is clever and contains Colfer's classic convolutedness and situational humor. His unique mix of magic as a scientific system, showed up again and is played to it's fullest potential.
The narrator did an amazing job, she gave each character a different voice that suited them perfectly and she gave the emotional scenes the weight they deserved.

A wonderful Christmas tale full of Eoin Colfer’s unique brand of magic
Story: (5 stars)
Appropriate for all ages and wonderfully magical, not to mention lots of tension and action—will Santa and Juniper win against the bad guys and save Dutchess and Christmas?
Narrator: (4.5 stars)
The voice actress has a lovely voice and does a number of accents. Granted some of the characters tend to sound similar, but it doesn’t detract from the story. And she does a really good job with the narration. (Loss of 1/2 star because anytime there is singing, which, to be fair is a minuscule part of the book, it is off-key and the melody is unrecognizable. But the poor narrator might no my have even known that singing was required when she accepted this book 🤷🏻♀️) Highly recommended, despite the singing, and I would definitely listen to this narrator again!

Depressed Santa is not really the Christmas vibe I was looking for. Slow, long, overcomplicated and somehow also underdeveloped.
