"Loved it! Superior! As a middle school teacher, I'm a prolific reader of juvenile fiction; and an even tougher critic of the genre.With that said, I experienced sheer delight in reading the page turner The Dangerous Christmas Ornament by Bob Siegel. Mike, the 6th grade protagonist in the story, is a well-drawn character with all the weaknesses and strengths of a twelve-year-old. Mike's E-ticket adventure engages the reader with his shenanigans of making his veggies disappear, cat talk, and creating a twin who doubles for him. Not only that, Bob Siegel skillfully weaves a subtle and moral message with a metaphoric thread, which encourages a kid to be the best version of them self: all the while addressing the various angst of preteens.Finally, I was captivated to the last page, but disappointed when the Christmas ride of the magical ornament came to a satisfying conclusion. I can't wait for the sequel!" - Suzy Ryan, 7th Grade English Teacher, Valley Middle School, Carlsbad, California.
