It is a wonderful adventure. Kiwi and the children must help the star. I loved how the author includes tidbits of actual facts and Christmas legends to the story. My favorite place was the room of dreams. I highly recommend for children ages 7 to 12." (WendysBookcase)"My 8yr old absolutely loves these books and anything that gets a child reading has to be a good thing! The fact that he can tell me about the story, characters and ask intelligent questions means they've sunk in and he's not just skimming. He's read them all at least twice which means that they are well written enough to attract him back; all signs of good books." (Amazon customer)
