Praise for Saving Santa's Seals

Saving Santa’s Seals is such a fun read! T.M. Murphy had me at page one. This author sure knows how to weave a story. It doesn't matter if you're a young reader or an adult, you'll want to join the journey in Saving Santa’s Seals; a tip-off if you do – don't forget to admire the view: Adam Taylor's illustrations are as vivid and evocative as the writing!

"Saving Santa's Seals" is a wonderful, captivating, fresh addition to a long list of Christmas titles. The author, Ted Murphy, is one of those rare adults who is strongly in tune with his eight year old self, able to capture the excitement, adventure, and feelings of childhood as well as the magic and wonder of Christmas. His tale of twists and turns, action and dilemmas is told as if he had actually lived it.... Perhaps he did!

~Martha Zschock, Author of the best selling "Journeys" series of Children's books



"Saving Santa's Seals is a sweet, imaginative story that arose from something writers, budding writers and even educators can relate to: writer's block. T.M. Murphy's whimsically crafted story truly deepens my belief that when handed lemons, one must make lemonade!"

~Emily Chetkowski, author of Mabel Takes the Ferry, Mabel Takes a Paddle, etc.



"Saving Santa's Seals is a one-of-a-kind holiday adventure filled with colorful characters and a suspenseful plot that kids will eat up faster than their Christmas cookies. Parents will appreciate T.M. Murphy's knack for weaving good old fashioned values like kindness, love, and forgiveness into the tale, and be touched by the character of Ryder, the young protagonist with a kind heart. This is a fun and wholesome story the entire family will enjoy...a great Christmas gift...perfect for reading on Christmas Eve or after Christmas dinner!"

~Mark Penta, author/illustrator of 'Cape Cod Invasion!'



"SAVING SANTA’S SEALS is warm and funny and riddled with great messages for kids (and adults). This is definitely gold medal material! For two decades I’ve known T.M. Murphy as a great writer. Now everyone will!"
