War, and an Owl
The Christmas Owl by Viv Drewa is an inspiring story of a soldier at Christmas Time and an owl. It showcases the sacrifices made not only of our soldiers but of their entire families. This story also gives the reader a taste of normal American family life in the 1940s, coupled with a paranormal owl twist. A well-written, touching story of a very special Christmas for one American family. Refreshingly different.

A beautiful book with a beautiful message
This is a beautiful book with a beautiful message about the power of love and showing kindness. It’s impossible not to love Jake from the first page. The love in his heart is so genuine. I’ve always been a fan of Ms. Hjort’s writing, and her first children’s book is no exception. The illustrations are lovely as well. My kids loved it, too, and I can tell it’ll stay one of our bedtime favorites.

5.0 out of 5 stars Spectacular message for youth. Life altering philosophy. Reviewed in the United States on December 21, 2018 Verified Purchase It’s like good parenting lesson wrapped into a fun read. As a parent I’m always looking for books that teach my son in jolly ways. If we take Dr. Hjort’s book to heart, our children (not to mention adults) will go through life easier. Can’t wait to hear more from this author. She’s got the magic touch. Super cute illustrations too. Very clean. I’m ordering it for many people for gifts and will tell our elementary school’s librarian about this one and this author!

Mary Barger Fantastic dark fantasy
I’ve been in reading slump for a few months when I spied a post from Kevin about a different series. He was very kind telling me about Winters of Alnora. I had previously read 3 of the Rosinanti series( books 1, 1.5 and 2). So I had a feel for the writing style of the author. As a dark fantasy, expect dark themes throughout. Kevin made it so easy to empathize with Alnora right from the opening lines. He can transport you to this world, I totally immersed myself in the story, when you actually feel cold just from the words you read, that is a job well done from the author. This is a short story, it made passing time through a storm fly by. I highly recommend Kevin’s books to any and all fantasy lovers. He puts a fresh spin on his books in a difficult genre to carve a path in. I don’t know if there will be any more books in this series, but I would very much welcome more. Fantastic job Kevin J. Kessler. Now, I have another Rosinanti book to get into. Grab these books, I am so very happy to have found them.
