Review: Innocently Delightful Read!! - Cornelia Funke writes the perfect holiday book for both children and adults! The storyline is clever and makes you smile practically the entire way through! The story is centered on Ben, a child that appears to be an underachiever, and Niklas Goodfellow, the last real Santa Clause. The evil Gerold Geronimus Goblynch is in charge of the Great Christmas Council and has outlawed the old ways magic was once used for children. Niklas Goodfellow's remaining friends, which consists of elves, angels, and a reindeer, have been banned and/or exterminated. Instead of utilizing these magical creatures, snowmobiles are replacing them forever. Any Santa who disagrees with the new rules is turned into Chocolate. While Niklas was supposed to be in hiding, his reindeer escapes while flying one night; thus, Santa falls to Earth! Now, it's up to Ben and his new friend Charlotte to help the last Santa. While this is an excellent story, Funke concludes with almost a bittersweet ending. Funke's character, Ben, doesn't seem to develop as the story progresses. Readers will assume Ben is maturing, but as the story continues, he seems to fall into old habits that classify him as the underachiever. It's quite unfortunate that Funke portrays almost every adult as being neglectful of their children yet somehow keeps the spirit of Christmas anticipatory for children! It's a wonderfully hilarious book but be warned that some characters never change (even with the spirit of Christmas).
Review: A Fun, Unique Instant Christmas Favorite for Kids - My son’s class read this before Christmas break, and he enjoyed it so much, he asked me to buy it. After reading it again, he loved it even more. I can see this being one of our family Christmas classics for years to come. Reading level is probably 4th-6th grade, but I would say it’s a suitable story for kids 7+. Niklas Goodfellow is the last of the real Santas. The rest have been turned into chocolate by the nefarious, fake Santa Mr. Goblynch, who rides around in a shiny silver limousine and who wants to eliminate Christmas magic in order to get parents to buy more things rather than have Santas and their elves make Christmas gifts and Christmas magic. Ben and Charlotte have to help Niklas when his caravan crashes to earth on their street. They help find Niklas’ missing (invisible) reindeer, stop Goblynch, and recreate the magic of Christmas (and some snow).

*by M***Y on January 29, 2014*

I am a middle school librarian and bought this to supplement our Christmas books, and to have maybe a fun book for the students. Well judging by the number of kids who read it this past Christmas, I'd say it must be a pretty good book.
