Peace on Earth, Goodwill to Men…and Gingerbread Men?!

After his harsh beginnings as a rough-and-tumble orphan on the streets of Victorian London, Jake Everton, the twelve-year-old Lord Griffon, takes his rightful place as the long-lost heir of an aristocratic family with magical powers—his personal quest, to follow in his slain parents’ footsteps as a Lightrider in the age-old battle of good versus evil. In the fantastical nooks and crannies of the Victorian Age, Jake and his friends (including his pet Gryphon) find no shortage of adventure—righting magic-related wrongs, solving supernatural mysteries, and exploring wondrous new worlds. Now it’s Jake’s first Christmas with his eccentric magical relatives…but trouble never takes a holiday.

Santa’s Horrid Little Helper

Humbug hates being a Christmas elf. Instead of making toys, he’d rather make mischief. Angling for a new job in Halloween Town, he sets out to prove he’s frightful enough for the post by ruining Christmas for as many people as possible—until Jake and his friends manage to capture the little troublemaker, determined to put a stop to his devious schemes.

When the kids find out that Santa is offering a reward of ‘One Christmas Wish Granted’ for the safe return of his runaway elf, the gang sets out on a rip-roaring, snowbound adventure to the North Pole to hand Humbug over and collect the bounty. But the way is fraught with danger, leaving Jake and his pals to wonder if they’ll make it home in time for Christmas—or if they’ll even make it back alive!

[Kathleen Ayres · Rating: 1 out of 5 stars]

Saccharine and full of dogma- impossible to focus on the story line or characters.

[Rashonda Arthur · Rating: 5 out of 5 stars]

This book has honestly one of the most adventurous excursions I have ever heard of. Not only was the trip very thrilling, but Jake and his friends also had to avoid polar bears, yetis, and somehow get to Santa Claus.

[Karen Chandler · Rating: 4 out of 5 stars]

This is such a cute storyline. It would be a good one to read to your kids.
