" ... evolves into a truly riveting adventure..."  (5 stars)  

"...this story is a treasure. I will keep it, I will share it, I will re-read it, and it will always live in my memory. Oh, and forget about one chapter per night. I
read the last 107 pages straight through. I think that, if circumstances had allowed
me, I would have read the entire book straight through
.

"... a delightful and detailed festive world..."

'Secrets of a Christmas Box' presents a delightful and detailed festive world that sweeps the reader off into fantastical characters that should be
appealing to kids and adults alike. By establishing a richly realized an increasingly
intricate set of tense predicaments for the lead characters. It then manages to
drive through to a conclusion that exposes and addresses perhaps one of the
most human of foibles. An entertaining and "highly recommended" read.
