"Someone has stolen Santa's bank card!" Combining the tongue-in-cheek charm of a modern classic with the timeless magic of cherished holiday tradition, here is a new Christmas story guaranteed to delight children of all ages--including those who pretend to have grown up. Santa's Twin is the hilarious and heartwarming story of two little girls, Charlotte and Emily, who set out to save Santa from his mischievous twin--Bob Claus. How the brave but foolhardy sisters fly to the North Pole and rescue Santa from his "deeply troubled" twin is an utterly charming and unforgettable story that will add sparkle to your holiday season. The first major new Christmas story in decades, Santa's Twin breathes new life and warmth into the world's most beloved legend. Dean Koontz was born in Everett, Pennsylvania, and grew up in nearby Bedford. While still in college, he won a prize in a fiction competition sponsored by The Atlantic Monthly. His novels have sold more than 170 million copies in thirty-eight languages. He lives with his family in southern California. Jay O. Sanders' diverse credits include JFK, Meeting Venus, and Angels in the Outfield on film, Hostages and The Outer Limits on cable TV, Roseanne and Northern Exposure on network TV, and St. Joan on Broadway. |

Summary: Makes a great Christmas gift, for adults as well as kids! I bought this for myself when it first came out in November 1996, and last year bought several for Christmas giving. Will do the same this year. Excellent illustrations by Phil Parks, who has worked on other projects with Dean. Finding the snowmen on each page is a treat by itself. Many are in plain sight, but a few take some work. There is even a small picture of Dean on the wall in the girls bedroom. And buy one just to put away for the future, as it will be a collectors item once it is out of print. Summary: A great christmas book! Koontz brings a great continuece of the noval, "Mr. Murder," where he uses the family of the noval and tells a story of what a christmas was like with them. Summary: Koontz never ceases to impress me I'm 36 and bought the book for myself! It will be an annual Christmas Eve tradition. I read it to my two nieces - 8 & 11 - and they enjoyed almost as much as i did. I especially loved the line - "they could do it. They were sisters" since I love to stress the importance of this relationship to these sisters. The humor he uses throughout makes it a joy to read again and again. the illustrations are gorgeous - and we had fun searching for the artist's signature within the artwork. Summary: A new Christmas treasure by Dean Koontz Twas just before Christmas And all was not right. Because Santa's bad twin Set out to ruin the night. He was mean and nasty A horrible elf. And he gave ghastly gifts And was proud of himself. He left old Saint Nick Tied up in a bag. Then went out and changed good gifts Into ones that would gag. But all was not lost 'Cause two girls saved the day. Old Bad Bob was tied up And tossed into the sleigh. Yes, Dean Koontz has written A new Christmas treasure. That kids of all ages should read At least twice for good measure. Summary: A PERSONAL BEST FINALLY A CHRISTMAS STORY THAT OLDER CHILDREN CAN ENJOY. I READ THIS BOOK TO MY CHILDREN AGES 8 & 11 LAST CHRISTMAS. BOTH OF THEM ALONG WITH MY HUSBAND AND MYSELF REALLY ENJOYED THE STORY ALONG WITH THE ILLUSTRATIONS. I HAVE READ ALL BUT THE LAST 3 BOOKS THAT DEAN KOONTZ HAS PUT OUT. AS FAR AS I AM CONCERNED HE IS THE BEST AUTHOR THAT I HAVE READ IN YEARS. HOPEFULLY HE WILL WRITE ANOTHER BOOK THAT THE WHOLE FAMILY CAN ENJOY AGAIN. |
