Interpretation To Books The Legend of Holly Claus
Santa Claus is the King of Forever, Land of the Immortals. When one special boy writes to Santa asking what no other child has ever asked, a miracle occurs: Santa and Mrs. Claus are blessed with a daughter. But the birth of Holly Claus also brings about a terrible curse--from an evil soul named Herrikhan. Holly's heart is frozen, and the gates to Forever are locked, barring exit or entry.
As she grows into a beautiful and selfless young woman, Holly longs to break the spell that holds her people hostage. With four faithful and magical animal friends, she escapes to the wondrous world of Victorian New York, where she will face countless dangers, adventures, and a miracle all her own.

Spectacular holiday read! I found this book in a used bookstore and was enchanted by the cover. The illustrations throughout the book are equally mesmerizing, the detailed sketches of Holly and the Land of Immortals really fuel the reader's imagination. The story is quite long but can definitely hold the reader's attention throughout. Many plot twists and side stories to engage young minds. It has 2 excellent messages about giving love selflessly and inspiring others to dream big and go forPlot: It was a good story-line, and creatively thought of. While it had a fantasy effect, there was something more to it that inspires the reader. The reader has the advantage of being with the main character every moment of her every day, and this makes the reader feel as if they were facing her obstacles themselves. Some points in the story were predictable, but in other ways you have no idea what will happen, and it leaves you gripping your chair. To say it all, this plot was very
I actually read this book when I was much younger, so this review is written through the lens of someone barely out of elementary school. The book was enrapturing and the world was immersive. In Holly I didn't see myself, but rather someone I wanted to be. It was the perfect story and the perfect theme for a Christmas story, and I couldn't have been happier than I was curled up in a chair reading that book around Christmastime.

Cute story. Loved the illustrations. The ending couldve used a bit more umph as the solution was a bit simplified but overall a good Christmas story that reads like classic childrens literature.
I admit I was very intrigued by the plot line but, unfortunately, I was disappointed by the execution.The book is written as if it was cut and pasted too much. Most of it felt disjointed and did not flow, while at other times it flowed quite smoothly. I believe there were so many back stories within the larger story that it became challenging knowing when to insert them. The result was often discontinuous and I had a hard time staying focused on the larger plot of the story. It was kind of like
Read the full review at Lauren the Librarian.A young boy is encouraged to write to Santa Claus at the beginning of the story by his mother. Ten year old Christopher writes that he has everything he needs in this world, but instead asks the benevolent ruler of The Land of Immortals if there is anything he wants for Christmas. It is in this beautiful spirit of giving that this story takes flight. Unbeknownst to young Christopher, he plays a great role later on in the story.When Nicholas Claus
I would say this is the very dark older sister to the beautiful children's book Holly Claus: The Christmas Princess.It really adds so much to the story you never knew you were missing. You do miss the magnificent art from the children's book but the descriptions and character development make up for it.
