Auntie

By

Review by: Yvonne

The Kringle family were a very well
to do family. They lived atop of an expensive hotel and they owned several
businesses. They had a Christmas tree up all year round, and even named
their youngest son, Chris! Sophie and Chris Kringle had everything a child
could want and more, however it was never enough for the two spoiled
brats! When Auntie Claus suggested they might have been given to many
presents, Sophie told her "You can never have too many
presents!". Now don’t misunderstand me, Auntie Claus loved
Christmas as well, however her motto was ‘tis better to give then
receive’. Sophie knew Auntie Claus was hiding something from the rest of
the family.
Every year after Halloween, Auntie Claus would go
away on a business trip and would not return until Valentines day, and she
also always wore a mysterious diamond key on a chain around her neck.
Whenever Sophie asked her about these things Auntie Claus would quickly
change the subject. She even told Sophie once, "it is something for
me to know and for you to find out!" So with that, Sophie decided she
would go too! There were many boxes in Auntie Clauses house. Sophie picked
the biggest one and crawled inside. She made a peep hole in the box so she
could see what was happening. Suddenly she saw Auntie Claus remove the key
from her necklace to open the elevator that was in her apartment. Her
helpers loaded all the boxes into the elevator and shut the doors, with
Sophie and Auntie Claus inside. The elevator shot straight up out of the
building and continued on its way, higher and higher past the stars! When
the elevator finally landed and Sophie and the boxes were left alone she
snuck out of her box. There before her stood Mr. Pudding! "You must
be the new elf," he said " But your not dressed properly!"
Mr. Pudding told Sophie to follow him and he said to hurry as there was
only 48 days left! So begins this adventure, and so begins Sophie’s
lessons about Christmas. Will Sophie find her Auntie Claus ? Will she
learn the true meaning of Christmas? Is she on Santa’s ‘Bad Boys and
Girls list’? Find out in this book by Elise Primavera.
I recommend this book for the ages of 6-10 as it
is a long story, however it is full of surprises and fun!
