Very lovely story and thinking back to when I was attempting to read it to my 10 year old, am sorry to say that neither one of us wanted to continue to slog through the cumbersome writing to find out what happened to all the characters. That is too bad. It had the potential to be a great classic but falls short. All in all, it was a great disappointment.

- My highlights are:
- Good role models
Perfect for ages 7-12
Holly is a great role model for kids ages 7-14! She's very optimistic, has a great attitude, and will do anything for the ones close to her. I loved this book, but some children may be a little creeped about the villain. Another off is that it's a little long and some parts can be a little dry. Peace.

THE BEST CHRISTMAS BOOK EVER!
I read this book every year for Christmas, which has been four or five years now. It is such a powerful, beautiful story, and so well written. I can't begin to describe how much I enjoyed it. I highly recommend this book; it's probably my favorite. There is no sex. There is one or two uses of d-mn, and one use of God's name in vain. There is some violence, but it's not very graphic. I HIGHLY RECOMMEND THIS STORY
