NOTE FROM Although Books 1 and 2 of the series are for general audiences of all ages (Rated G), Book 3 begins to dive deeper into the romance genre; and the installments beginning with Book 3 have a suggested rating of PG-13 due to scenes of implied intimacy.
NOTE FROM This book series is similar to a TV series or soap, in that each installment builds upon the previous installments. Therefore, the correct place to start is with Book 1. Books 1 & 2 are classic Christmas novels for general audiences of all ages. However, beginning with Book 3, a prevalent romance theme develops between two teenagers, which intensifies the further along you go. Thus, Books 3 and above might be considered PG-13, and parental guidance is suggested.
The Grinch is Book #3 of the Christmas Town Series. The Grinch reminds us that there is always more to people than meets the eye. It is about listening and learning, rather than casting superficial judgment. The Grinch is full of fun and humorous surprises, as our main character continues to grow, and his relationship with Sally continues to evolve into a deeper love and level of intimacy.

It is also about the very deep and meaningful relationships which develop between our main character and various adults who surround him.
Books 1 and 2 of the series are for ‘General Audiences’ of all ages. Beginning with Book 3, our main character is well into adolescence, and as such, there is a teen romance theme to the storyline. As the installments and romance storyline progresses, there are scenes of implied intimacy. Books 3 and above might be classified as “PG-13,” and parental guidance is suggested. With that said, many readers will find that the teen romance exhibits a positive and loving example of a healthy and responsible relationship. However, those offended by teen relationships might find some of the content objectionable.
The Christmas Town Series comes to us from the same author who brought us the epic 40+ book series, Living A Meaningful Life, which is perhaps the largest family saga series written in recent history. The Christmas Town Series is designed to eventually reach the same status.
