 Book Review

 


Basic Details:

Book Title: The Adventures of Fawn

Subtitle: (The Adventures of Fawn #4)

Author: Al E. Boy

Genre: Children’s

Part of a series? Yes

Order in series: 4

Best read after earlier books in series? Yes

Available: https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/59429216-the-adventures-of-fawn

Overall score:

I scored this book 4/5

Short Summary of the book:

This is a nice children’s book centred around a young reindeer and her friends. She is now a little older than in the first book and has had some adventures in the second and third book too, giving her even more friends. This time, she sees off her parents when they lead Santa’s sleigh on Christmas Eve. There are people out to destroy Christmas though, and Fawn is tasked with saving Christmas. Will she succeed?

What I liked about the book:

The book is action-packed, and full of twists and turns.

What I didn’t like about the book:

I enjoyed the entire book.

My favourite bits in the book:

How Fawn has grown and become more responsible.

My least favourite bits in the book:

The book was enjoyable in its entirety.

Any further books in the series? Any more planned by this author?

This is the second book I’ve read by this author. I understand this is the fourth in a series of 4.

What books could this be compared to and why?

This is a lovely children’s book. However, the language and writing style would perhaps fit best for older children (10-12 y.o.) and the subject may not entertain the older group as much as the younger children (5-8 y.o.).

Recommendation:

In summary, I would recommend this book for the following readers:

 

Children

Yes

Young Adult

Probably not

Adult

If young at heart, yes

 

If you children stories with a Christmassy feel, this book may be the book for you.

I’m certainly looking forward to reading more by this author.

Book Description by Author:

Fantastic! Fun-tastic! Fawn-tastic!

Fawn is back home at the North Pole, and Christmas Eve 1849 has finally arrived. As Santa, Mary, Wajic and the legendary team of reindeer leave to begin the monumental task of delivering gifts to children around the world, a sun pillar appears not far away. But the true purpose of the bright and beautiful column of light is dark and dangerous. Upon Santa’s return, the moment his sleigh touches down, its occupants and the faithful team of reindeer will all disappear forever. Only someone pure of heart and possessing an unblemished soul can extinguish the pillar safely. That someone is--Fawn. But many perils and surprises mark the way to the pillar. Fawn’s very first Christmas may turn out to be her last.!

About the Author:

Through almost 40 years as a Santa Claus, Al E. Boy developed quite a repertoire of tales to explain and answer the many questions children ask about Santa, the North Pole, his reindeer, and his friends, the elves.

It was this collection of tales which prompted him to begin writing The Adventures of Fawn. Through the young daughter of legendary reindeer Comet and Vixen, he's been able to weave an exciting, colorful, imaginative world which will delight readers of all ages!

Mr. Boy not only hopes you enjoy these tales, but make reading them part of your Christmas traditions, as well.
