Santa is ready to go out delivering presents in his beautiful white suit which Mrs. Claus made for him. On the way home, the reindeer make a sharp turn and Santa falls out of the sleigh. The reindeer look for him but cannot find him. Oh no, Santa is lost in the snow in his white suit! How will the reindeer find him?

I enjoyed this story. It's cute and imaginative. I liked the solution (no, you'll have to read the book yourself.) This is good for your toddler as well as your early reader (well, the whole family because no one can say why Santa wears a red suit!)… (lisätietoja)

3001 was an interesting dystopian novel that presented lots of twists I wasn’t expecting. Rory lives with a community of people in the heart of a mountain. She’s been widowed and is still not over the death of her husband. It’s a primitive setting with herbal remedies, soap made from goat’s milk, and gives the sense this is a time several hundred years ago. One thing I really enjoyed was the way the book turned my expectations on their head with every new section I read. Rory has special abilities—to control fire and heat. Her village knows about her, and she uses her powers to help people. When a stranger named Jacoby is found half-frozen near their mountain, Rory helps to save him, and they form a bond. He takes her away to the colony where he is from, and the story takes some interesting turns!

I loved the way this started off almost like a fantasy novel, but as you get further in, it becomes more of a dystopian sci-fi. Surprise, there are solar panels! Communicators! Aliens! I was definitely intrigued and enjoyed the interesting world building. Rory is not exactly what she seemed at first and I enjoyed the way this was revealed later in the story. There is a love triangle as Rory is pursued by both Jacoby and Quinn, one of the officers at the colony. Gorgeous prose and lovely descriptions. Enjoyed the way this one kept the surprises coming!
