Fairy Tale Christmas by Michael McLean
My rating: 4 of 5 stars
Source: Received from Shadow Mountain to Review
Genre: Christmas/Fairy Tale

Book description:  Santa Claus has been kidnapped! Behind the plot are the fairy tale villains: an evil queen, a wicked stepmother, a beanstalk giant, and, of course, the mischievous Rumplestiltskin. They have a plan that will erase the term “Happily Ever After” from our storybooks forever.

To save the day, the fairy tale heroes must decide if they will sacrifice their happiness so that Santa can bring Christmas to all the children of the world. Christmas is almost here, and time is running out.

My thoughts: The villains of the fairy tales want to win for a change. The giant wants to eat Jack. The evil step-mother wants Cinderella to provide slave labor. They don't think it's fair that the good guy always gets to win.

They have come up with a perfect plan. Ruin Christmas and the heroes are bound to give them the endings to their stories. They will get their evilly perfect ending.

Santa has determined that every child deserves a toy. There is good in every person, sometimes it just has to be looked for a little harder. While the villains think they have a perfect plan, Santa knows the truth, he just has to teach the villains that their plan is not as perfect as they thought it was.

This is a great Christmas story to share with Children. It takes some of the most loved and hated characters of favorite fairy tales and adds Santa to the mix. It is bound to capture the imagination of children and adults of all ages.

It is a quick read, it took me less than a day. I enjoyed the story and look forward to listening to the Copper Mine Club and Dinner Theater's original cast recording. Michael McClean has written some of my favorite songs. The link to the recording is in the back of the book. :)
