Chris Kringle's Cops The First Mission
There is much action in Chris Kringle’s Cops: The First Mission, from
the early scenes with Patty at the mall and at home, to the
imaginative flight to the North Pole. Patty is a fun character who
has much to learn about herself, and as the book moves on she
finds out some interesting secrets about a magic birthmark she’s
always had, her connection with Santa and the North Pole, and her
mother. The book makes a few leaps from happy moments to sad
moments, especially when Patty talks about her mother. The tone is
perfect for the holidays in that respect. There is always a sense of
this Christmas adventure being bittersweet for Patty. Author Ellwyn
Autumn keeps the action moving, and there is always something
new going on, which should please young readers and keep them
engaged. Overall, I enjoyed the book and recommend it for
children. It would make a great Christmas gift!

Chris Kringle's Cops The First Mission
Ellwyn Autumn's fantasy for children and preteens, Chris Kringle's
Cops: The First Mission, is an exciting and fast-paced story about a
twelve-year-old girl who is really rather special. The author does an
impressive job of conveying the devastation the death of a parent
can have on the surviving family members as indeed, Patty's
mother, Luce's death, makes celebrating Christmas almost seem a
sacrilege. It is only with an intense amount of effort that her father
even leaves his room to try to make Christmas happen for his
children. I loved the concept of Chris Kringle's Cops and was excited
to see the North Pole along with Patty. Melody E. Whitaker's
illustrations bring many of the characters to life and are a real treat
for readers. I'm looking forward to reading about Patty's future
missions with CKC. Chris Kringle's Cops: The First Mission is highly
recommended.
