Glaciers Melt & Mountains Smoke (3) (Santa Claus Trilogy) - Softcover

"The starkness and chill of the North Pole is captured beautifully. I liked the concept of writing a book from the viewpoint of Santa and Mrs. Claus. That is something really novel and unique.The language is very elegant. I loved the book. It had an underlying message that we all know about but still tend to ignore the seriousness of it. There was something magical about the story - Santa, ice, glaciers, North Pole all added up to it." - Reviewed by Mamta Madhavan for Readers' Favorite Rating 5.0 stars

"Joe Moore has created an engaging story in Glaciers Melt & Mountains Smoke. Without preaching, Mr. Moore conveys the need for cooperation and environmental awareness as well as good old friendship and cooperation. Well-developed characters and the action, although fantastic in many regards, is actually quite realistic. Glaciers Melt & Mountains Smoke is a pleasure to read and heartwarming in its delivery. Great read, interesting characters and scientific information and gentle messages about the environment and mankind." - Reviewed by Melinda Hills for Readers' Favorite Rating 4.0 stars

"I...related to the second and third books even more with the young couples and coming back to help in the great move." - Alex Wilson
