Acerca de esta escucha
Can a budding young scientist protect the ancient secrets of a saint whilst saving his family from a terrible hidden danger?
Oliver Winter has the January blues. His sister hates him, his parents are always at work, and his keen mind sees through every fairy tale he was ever told. But one night, a mysterious stranger taps at his bedroom window and blows his world apart. Recruited by Enzo, a top agent of the mysterious Order of St. Nicholas, Oliver solemnly promises to do good, all year round.
It seems, though, that not all children have the right stuff. When older sister Megan falls under the spell of the sinister Arthur MacGregor, sworn to discredit and destroy the Order, the entire Winter family are drawn into a perilous adventure. If Oliver and Enzo can’t stop MacGregor’s misfit band, a disturbing twisting of technology threatens to shatter the world.
The Science of Santa Claus is the first book in the incredible saga of the Winter Family. If you know a curious youngster who loves real-world science and cool technology and if you want to inspire family fun and further learning, then get on board.

Historia
When a young writer accepts a job at a university in the remote English countryside, it's meant to be a fresh start, away from the bustle of London and the scene of a violent assault she is desperate to forget. But a vicious debate about violence against women inflames the tensions and mounting rivalries in her creative-writing class. When a troubled student starts turning in chapters that blur the lines between fiction and reality, the professor recognizes herself as the main character in his book - and he has written her a horrific fate.

Working as a dedicated forensic psychiatrist for many years, Emma is not shocked so easily. Then she is assigned to work with Connie, a wife and mother accused of a despicable crime. Connie is suffering from dissociative amnesia - or at least seems to be. Now it is up to Emma to decide whether Connie can stand trial for her sins. But there is something about Connie that inexorably pulls Emma into her orbit. Too Close is a masterfully written riveting listen about the powerful - yet dangerous - closeness between women.

Historia
When Elizabeth Keane returns to Ireland after her mother’s death, she’s focused only on saying goodbye to that dark and dismal part of her life. Her childhood home is packed solid with useless junk, her mother’s presence already fading. But within this mess, she discovers a small stash of letters — and ultimately, the truth. Forty years earlier, a young woman stumbles from a remote stone house, the night quiet except for the constant wind that encircles her as she hurries deeper into the darkness away from the cliffs and the sea.

For myself and Lauren, my 10-year-old daughter No 3 Beech Close was to be our refuge after two years of hell nursing my sick mother. In need of a fresh start and wanting to distance ourselves from the bad memories of my mother’s house we moved to Beech Close, a small cul-de-sac of six houses situated around a picture-perfect green. It seemed perfect but I had underestimated the secrets that this tightknit community shared. Within hours of moving in my next-door neighbour Valerie made it abundantly clear we were not welcome.

Great Seasonal Sci-Fi Fantasy
This was a really fun sci-fi twist on the story of Saint Nicholas. This is geared towards older elementary age kids due to the discussion of Santa being real or not. When reading the history of St. Nicholas it says that alien contact may have played a roll in his seemed immortality. My 14 year old son listened to this story and thoroughly enjoyed it and is looking forward to the next book in the series. This is not just a Christmas time read, we highly recommend it!

Great Mix of A Legend, Fantasy, & Science Fiction
This was my first experience with M. G. Knight's work, and I really enjoyed it. I realize that the book's audience was listed as nine-to-twelve-year olds, but I was entertained by the story. The author creatively blended the legend of St. Nick along with a fantasy, which had a scientific edge to it. I recommend this story to others, regardless of their age, who enjoy imaginative adventures. Nathaniel Ascher's narration was great and entertaining. I was given a free copy of the audiobook and I have voluntarily posted this review.

QUITE THE ADVENTURE STORY.
The concept of the story is very interesting and does end up becoming a family affair. l found the beginning of the story disconcerting because in this day and age we are untrusting of kids keeping secrets from parents and getting secret visitors at night BUT that being said l can't think of any other way the author could have written the story. 70 years ago this wouldn't have even been an issue and this book would have been very popular. I do RECOMMEND this book, l think young adults will enjoy it.
Nicely narrated and easy to listen to.
