Title: The Legend of Holly Claus# of Pages: 544
Author: Brittney Ryan
Illustrator: Laurel Long
Previous Work:
The author has been involved in many theatrical works.
The illustrator has illustrated 7 other books, most of them
under 40 pages.
Summary: This story begins with a little boy asking Santa
what has never before been asked. "What do you wish
for Christmas, Santa?" Then Holly Claus is born.
Unfortunately she has the purest heart ever existing and an
evil Warlock hatches a plan to steal it for his own personal
gain. A magical life and adventure follows.
Rating: Definitely a 5.
Awards:
Part of "The Julie Andrews Collection"
Opinion: This book may sound cheesy, but it is very
eloquently written. The plot is unpredictable, the characters
endearing. Plus the illustrations are so gorgeous and detailed
you could stare at them for a half an hour and still not be
satisfied. However I must warn fans of "Quicky books" this
story is 522 pages (Not including "The Characters and Places
of Forever") long. It is totally worth it, though; I've read this
book 3 times, only one of those times being at Christmas. And
it is still amazing! (The picture shown below is on the back of
the book, with the bottom cut off.)
