By: Tony Bertauski

Narrated by: James Killavey

The seventh stand-alone novel in the Claus Universe.

If you want to play and stay out all day, I know the place where we can do it.

Great aunt Annie was a storyteller. It was mostly Christmas stories she told. No one had ever heard her tales about giant reindeer, living snowmen, and Santa Claus. There were no movies about them. No books. When she passed away, everyone thought they’d never hear such stories again. But she saved the best for the last.

When Tin’s family inherits an enormous rural estate, they discover the hidden treasures of Toyland. The eccentric mansion was built long ago by a toy magnate named Wallace Noel, a man made famous by his beloved Noel toys. Tin and her family spend Christmas at Toyland and find abandoned workshops, old photos, and forgotten toys in strange rooms.

When Tin discovers an authentic-looking elf hat, everything changes. She comes to know the truth behind the urban legends of Wallace Noel and what made his toys so special. And where Great aunt Annie got her stories.

Stunning

I loved this book! Tony is a fabulous author and this is one of the many books I've enjoyed of his so far. The narrator as always, was fantastic.

Very Imaginative!

I thoroughly enjoyed listening to this story! The narration as great and the imagination of the characters made me remember the innocence and beliefs of children. It was suspenseful and very entertaining. I would highly recommend!
