Jack Frost CHAPTER ONE A Nose Is Nearly Nipped CHRISTMAS EVE WAS JACK’S favorite day of the year. And for the last few decades or so, he had spent that day in his favorite place: his tree. Jack’s tree was the oldest in Central Park. A thousand people, maybe more, walked past it daily and had done so for many years, but not one of them knew that Jackson Overland Frost was very often living inside it. This tree was much older than the park it stood in and was even older than the city of New York itself. It was a sapling when the city was still called New Amsterdam and there were more Native Americans than settlers living in the swampy forests of Manhattan Island. By this Christmas Eve 1933, millions of people lived within shouting distance of this noble oak, but its secrets were still more absolute than they had been when flintlocks or bows and arrows were the order of the day. A heavy snow was falling over all of the East. It muffled the sounds of the city, though New York was already quieting down. People had finished shopping and were heading to their apartments and penthouses and homes. Jack, however, could feel the thrum of excitement from the children. Sleep would be difficult for them. It was, after all, Christmas Eve. A busy night for Sandman, he thought. The inside of Jack’s tree contained more than a dozen rooms within its majestic hollow, and the furnishings were a mix of pieces from several centuries: spears, shields, stools, and pottery from the various tribes of the Iroquois, along with colonial tables and ornate chairs and couches brought over from Europe. There was a tomahawk from a chief of the Algonquians. The jacket that George Washington had worn the night he crossed the Delaware was hanging on a hat rack that had belonged to Teddy Roosevelt. This tree, like all the tree-houses Jack called home, was a handsome, comfortable clutter of the region’s history. Jack was readying to meet up with the other Guardians when he felt the dull, worrying ache in his left hand. He wanted to ignore it. He knew Nicholas St. North would already be grumping about his being late. Jack Frost! The fair-weather Guardian! North would playfully gripe. Comes and goes when he pleasies! The word, my dear North, is “pleases,” E. Aster Bunnymund would correct. Go lay an egg, General Rabbit Bunny, North would retort, and they would begin to amiably argue. Jack could imagine it exactly. He grabbed his staff, Twiner, and prepared to leave, but then paused as another even sharper pain seared through his hand. He looked at his palm, at the curious scar etched across it. The inky stain of Pitch’s blood had discolored it and was, Jack knew, the source of the pain, for it only twinged when Pitch or his forces posed a threat. He turned back to a cabinet, well hidden, where he kept his daggers. There were several similar daggers in this secret cabinet. All of them were made from large, sharp, single diamonds, and each gemstone had been formed from the tears of someone Jack had loved. As far back as his earliest days as Nightlight, Jack had possessed the ability to turn sorrow into a weapon. These daggers could only be used against dark forces or to protect the kind and weak. But there was one dagger, unfinished, that was different from the others. It had come from the tears of Pitch himself. This dagger had one purpose only. Jack had never completed its construction, but he knew now in his heart that it was finally time to use it. And this worried him deeply as he took the dagger and tucked it into its sheath. He slipped on his blue hoodie, which he wore as a sort of uniform, then set out for the pole. The North Pole. The thousand or so squirrels that sheltered in his tree were eating nuts and singing squirrel carols around a squirrel version of a Christmas tree, a cone-shaped mound of acorns covered with candles. They squealed “Merry Christmas” to him in squirrel-speak. Jack squealed back; he spoke fluent squirrel and chipmunk. As he leaped out of the hollow, he felt his hand throb once more. Not now. Not tonight. He gave his hand a shake. A breeze suddenly kicked up. The trees swayed and lurched, their message clear. Danger was near. Twiner instantly transformed into a bow and a quiver full of gnarled arrows. Jack quickly nocked an arrow. “Where?” he whispered to the bow. He let Twiner lead him to where he needed to aim. While Jack could sense danger, Twiner could always see where it was coming from. The wind stilled, and the snow stopped.

The main story is poignant, tender, and exciting, and the ending – very satisfying - may bring a happy tear. Author Joyce is a great storyteller and he shares some wonderful thoughts, one of the best being a description of the power of a story. (The villain can’t stand this fact, but it’s quite true.) And there are many other warm, inspiring thoughts in this book that make it special. Also, we see how Jack Frost becomes a leader as he comes to the rescue time and again, find out more about the mysterious pain in his hand, learn the history of his Twiner friend, and we see his Guardian friends join together with their unique talents to support him in what everyone hopes is a final battle.I recommend this book for 3rd through 5th grades, depending on the reader’s abilities. As a mom and librarian who hasn’t yet read the previous books in the series, I viewed this on its own merits. I can see kids avidly reading it and being eager to find out the ending. It contains suspense and danger and we see the power of good come forth in response. It is a little difficult getting through the first part of the book with all the lengthy descriptions and backstories of the other Guardians. I think it wasn’t necessary to provide descriptions of so many characters and events from previous books; this story can stand on its own easily. The white font on black pages in the center of the book will be appealing to kids, although a little harder to read than black on white. Finally, Joyce is quite multi-talented, as his drawings are creative and add much to the story. This is one of the better books for elementary school ages, and – parents – your kids will want to come back for more.
I felt that this book was a good conclusion to this part of the series but it still left me a bit dissatisfied. William Joyce is, as always, inventive in his character designs and the art is beautiful that he makes. I was content with how he united the movie and books, but there are still elements that don't mean well between the books and movie. Overall, if there was anything that made me unhappy with the story it was the pacing. I'd have rather the book was split into two more descriptive stories then just one in which it seemed rushed at places that hooked my interest. The conclusion left me unhappy but it may be because of the fact that we are, for now, biding beloved characters a fair well.In conclusion, I'd say the book is worth the buy if you are a fan of the series. But if you're more familiar with the movie you may find this book a bit unsatisfying. I'd give the book an 8/10. Characters are well done, the story is gripping, but the pacing of the book left me unhappy.
I'm sad to see this series end on such a bitter note. I won't go into detail so as to keep the story a mystery to other readers, but I can say that I am disappointed. This book did not have the same vibe as the other four books and the ending doesn't make sense given what happens in the middle of the story. The overall interaction felt flat as though Joyce was just going through the motions to be done with the book. With all he's gone through though in his own life recently, I completely understand why he would be ready to move on. It's just too bad it took a toll on the series wrapping up.
I was very happy when I saw the final book of the Guardians series finally came out, and I re-read the four previous Guardian books to refresh myself on the story. I have to admit, for the first half of this book, I was not happy. Not to spoil the plot, but there's a significant amount of time between the end of the Sandman book and the beginning of this book. I was confused and displeased, but I hung in there and everything wraps together beautifully. I ended up loving the book. It's a wonderful ending to a lovely series.
This was a very good conclusion to the series and well-worth the long wait. The massive flashforward was a twist, but a good one. I gotta admit, I'm a big Rotg fan, but I found this version of Jack far more interesting than Chris Pine's character. I also enjoyed seeing North fully in the role of Santa Claus. The fact that he now wears a monocle was a clever nod to an earlier book "Santa calls."
A wonderfully written conclusion to the series. Mr. Joyce does not disappoint. Stunning artwork as always. The kids at my library have been going crazy waiting for this book's release! They are loving it too.
I nice was expecting for this book and she just loved.
Fast delivery and a great read.
