Fantastic! Fun-tastic! Fawn-tastic!! This award-winning first entry in The Adventures of Fawn series is an exciting coming-of-age tale! The year is 1849, and legendary reindeer Comet and Vixen have a young daughter, Fawn.

In this first book, 'Til the Last Snowflake Falls, the young reindeer spends far too many days alone in the stable at Santa's Village, with no friends and nothing to do. While her parents caution her she's much too young and inexperienced to go exploring outside the Village by herself, Fawn disagrees.

Declaring, "I want some fun and excitement! I don't care how dangerous it is!" she begins sneaking out each day in search of friends, excitement, and adventure. She'll find them all...but also find herself in dangerous situations she's unprepared for! She'll realize perhaps a bit too late that mom and dad were right all along!

And, she'll learn some valuable lessons about what's really important in life. The Adventures of Fawn are filled with fun, laughs, excitement, magic, and entertainment for readers of all ages!

'Til, the Last Snowflake Falls, was awarded the Bronze Medal in Dan Poynter's 2017 Global E-book Awards, received an Honoree Medallion from indieB.R.A.G. Awards, One Stop Fiction 'Five Star'Book Award, and a Reader's Favorite 'Five Star' Book Award.

My thoughts on The Adventures of Fawn Book 1

The Adventures of Fawn Book 1 by Al E. Boy Audiobook image

This could be your new favorite holiday book!

‘Til the Last Snowflake Falls by Al E. Boy is a wonderful story set at the North Pole. It covers the adventures of Fawn, the daughter of Comet and Vixen.

Pam Tsujioka is the narrator. It is a single narration reading. With just a hint of an accent, her voice lends magic to the story. Each character is modulated with enough difference to keep the conversations organized in my mind. There are distinct changes in tone and inflection. Ms. Tsujioka brings the text to life for the listener.

The pace suited me well. But, if you prefer a faster pace to your audiobooks, the story plays well at a slightly increased speed.

As for the tale itself, the characters are magical. Dr. Mary Weather has lost her Christmas spirit. With the help of Fawn, Snowboy, Bunny, and the others, that spirit is revived and thriving once more.

Captain Kemp and Higgins represent all that’s wrong with the world: greed, meanness, avarice, lies, and more. Santa, Wajik, Mary, and the animals work together to revive, Snowboy, as well as the flagging Christmas spirit.

I love the detailed explanations of how the magic of Santa’s village works to bring joy to everyone. The author’s experience helping “Santa” for 40 years lends itself to this creative endeavor.

Young readers that are ready for an introduction to more involved novels will love this book. There are lessons to learn and adventures to be experienced. They will begin to learn about actions and consequences in a fun, heart-warming, whimsical tale.

This book/audio would make an excellent bedtime story by reading/listening to a chapter or two each night. I highly recommend ‘Til the Last Snowflake Falls to all parents, grandparents, daycares, and libraries.

I happily award this unique story 5 stars.
