Frost and Found
Welcome to Frost Falls, a charming town where the holiday season begins with... a missing dog?
Jessica Kringle, the North Pole’s former First Lady (and wife of You Know Who), is ready to embrace small-town life with her loyal penguin Pip by her side. As autumn leaves crunch underfoot and jack-o-lanterns glow on porches, Jessica finds herself swept into the town’s Halloween spirit. But when Snowball, the beloved pet of her new friend Martha, vanishes without a trace, Frost Falls suddenly feels a little colder.
Determined to help her friend and show her new neighbors the power of Christmas spirit—even in October—Jessica dives into the mystery. With the help of her knitting group, a dash of North Pole ingenuity, and her trusty sidekick Pip, she unearths secrets as tangled as yarn and suspects as slippery as ice.
Will Jessica and her friends find Snowball in time to save Halloween? Or will this chilly mystery leave Frost Falls with a frostbitten heart? Settle in with a pumpkin-spiced treat and enjoy this cozy holiday mystery where friendship, warmth, and a sprinkle of Christmas magic light the way to solving the case. Perfect for fans of small-town charm and festive whodunits, Frost and Found is a delightful start to a holiday mystery series that will warm your heart all year long.

Super cozy.. fantastic community with a lot of repetition and some minor confusing things, but cute and enjoyable :)

I hate to rate it low
The positives:
- undoubtedly a cute story about a missing dog returned to its owner with all the fall cozy attributes
- I think this would be a perfect story for 2nd-4th graders.
Why I couldn’t get behind it:
- the bulk of the story did have a lot of repeating. And I don’t mean that things were reiterated (which they were) but I’m talking about specific phrases that were repeated sometimes with in the same page. Such as “the smell of blank and blank enveloped me like a warm hug”, “the bright and cheery whatever at odds with the feelings or situation” the shear AMOUNT of times “this is what Frost Falls is all about. Taking care of each other and community” was said could have shortened the book in half.
- the format said 7 chapters. I believe there were 16-17. The last few chapters felt completely separate in writing style (and were formatted different)
- the unfortunate accumulation of the later points does lead me to believe that AI was used for the middle bulk of the story.

It was very repetive with certian phrases.I felt the book lacked suspense and fell flat when trying to make you picture the town and all its glory.
I felt if this book was longer the author would of been able to go into more detail and lengthen and expand the character development

Cute story but sooooooo repetitive

To the author… please make up your mind about the pet’s gender! So confusing.

An okay read...too repetitive for me...Snowball could have been found in 100 pages.
The town is very cute.

The story was cute but there was too much repeating of phrases. The penguin's gender kept changing. I saw many grammar mistakes and I think whoever edited the book could have done a better job.
I also thought the book seemed to drag on and on. The setting for the town was nice though and her description of it sounds inviting though.

Frost and Found (Frost Falls book 1)
What a lovely story. Hard to believe Santa and Mrs. Claus have moved to a small town in New Hampshire and just before Halloween. This is a story of a close small town community helping one anpther.

lovely story
The author has reworked Santa and his wife Jessica into solving a mystery in Frost Falls, New Hampshire. She reminds us what community is like from small town perspective. I enjoyed reading this book very much.

Nice story but...
Lots of proofreading problems. At one point, Pip changed gender in every paragraph, sometimes every sentence!
Much of the writing was very repetitive.
Interesting premise but I probably won't continue with the series.
