![]() The Santa Claus Chronicles is a heartwarming glimpse into the life of Dan Short and his experiences serving as Santa Claus. He tells stories of different interesting people he has met over the years and also sheds light on his personal journey to becoming Santa Claus. His narrative makes it clear that Santa is an iconic figure who means so many things to so many people and in so many different ways. This book would make a special holiday gift and reminds us all of the true meaning of the season.

![]() This Tender Land should be a staple in American literature. What an amazing, heartfelt and timely story! It is a moving, engaging, immersive read that caused me to fall in love with each character along the way. The writing is so vivid and the characters so well developed that everything jumps from the page. A five star super star read for me! This Tender Land begins in Minnesota at the Lincoln School in 1932. Hundreds of Native American children are forcibly separated from their parents and sent to the Lincoln School to be 'reformed'. The school is also home to orphans Odie and Albert O'Banion. The superintendent finds Odie at fault for most any infractions at the school. It isn't long before Odie finds himself forced to flee the school, taking Albert, their best friend Mose and little Emily with them. Their journeys down river as they try to evade law enforcement and the school superintendent, all while headed toward the idea of a home in St. Louis, are rich with a host of colorful characters and experiences. I cannot stress enough how much I think everyone should run out and pick up this book immediately. I can definitely say that anything else William Kent Krueger writes will be on my must read list.
