My Thoughts:

There are certain kinds of people who are just unable to sit still! Give them vacation time and they wouldn't know what to do with it. They'd be swinging from the rafters before long. And boredom breeds trouble... And then you get into all sorts of mischief!

The character development though is wonderful as always! Even the panther! So we went from holloween to christmas. As always the story telling quality is fabulous! As one of the characters commented, this is a re-telling of the Scrooge story told in a different way. However the story is too philosophical and I am not totally convinced that it actually flowed... Not the best book in the series, but still an enjoyable read!

Story telling quality = 4
Character development = 5
Story itself = 3
Writing Style = 3
Ending = 3
World building = 5
Cover art = 4.5
Pace = 3
Plot = 4
