Catching Santa (The Kringle Chronicles, Book 1) par David M. F. Powers
Cette critique a été écrite dans le cadre des Critiques en avant-première de LibraryThing.I attempted to read this book several times but each time was not able to finish it. Plain and simple, it just wasn't a book I enjoyed. As always though, I encourage you all to not go by my review and read/ make your own opinions about this book.
Cette critique a été écrite dans le cadre des Critiques en avant-première de LibraryThing.Certainly not your typical Santa book, Catching Santa takes the reader on a fast-paced, Star Wars like battle between good and evil when Jakob and his three friends mistakenly speak fateful words...that they no longer believe that Santa is real.
Conjuring up some age-old folklore, a magical, fantastical world opens up where an evil being named S.R. tries to lure Santa to him, in order to capture and use for his own evil purposes, Santa's power. Little does Jakob know that he is a Pole, one who has some powers of his own and can see what others cannot.
It is a battle against, not only evil, but time, as time is of the essence, if Santa is to continue delivering presents to good little boys and girls throughout the world. On a fateful Christmas Eve, Jakob and his three friend, Logan, Shig, and Fleep try their best to align with other good forces to defeat an enemy that has at his fingertips the ability and the power to defeat all that is good.
Catching Santa may appeal to some older, tween readers, but, in all honesty, do we really want to be reading about such evilness in conjunction with our beloved Santa...even if he isn't real? I, for one, think not.
Thank you to LibraryThing Early Reviewers for choosing me to receive a copy of this ARC. However, I never received it, but decided to read it anyway.… (plus d'informations)

Definitely a different approach to the whole Santa/Christmas theme. It turned out to be too different for my personal tastes, but I thought the book itself was decently written - hence the 3 stars instead of just 1 or 2. I do agree with those who said the vocabulary in the book was too advanced at times for someone who's only supposed to be 11.
Cette critique a été écrite dans le cadre des Critiques en avant-première de LibraryThing.A very cute to read to any child around the holidays. My nieces and nephews enjoyed the book.
