This is a great book to read at Christmas with your teenagers. We have read it twice and have let our children borrow it when they became adults and wanted to read it again.

Feel-good read about the true spirit of Christmas. If you are looking for a quick read that will warm your heart, this is a good one! You will fall in love with "Moose", a big guy with an even bigger heart! A great book for teens or anyone who wants to get into the holiday spirit.

I enjoyed this short, sweet Christmas story about unselfish giving. I think most teens would really like it.

3.5 sweet Christmas story, if a little improbable.

[Suzy · Rating 5 out of 5]

This is a modern story of love - the pure love that comes from sacrifice, the charitable love that cares more for the happiness of others than for self the unselfish love that gives up precious possessions so that others might receive. The main character comes to realize one of the greatest joys around Christmas time. A truly heart warming and motivating book to be better and focus on creating miracles for others.
