The Elf Archive by Jordan David is the second book in this series. Santa wants a wife, and it is up to the elves to find him one. They find a Russian woman who turns out to be extremely aggressive. Then they set him up with another woman who leads him head-first into a gang war. At the same time, the annual Reindeer Games are about to get underway. They are scheduled half way to Christmas so that all the elves can drop what they are doing to participate and attend. A few of the events are: sleigh driving, ski jumping, ice sculpting, snow fort building, and surfing - at the North Pole! This Santa is an avid surfer and has been teaching some of the elves how to surf.
Noel Night has been searching for five years for the elves’ library, which was hidden over a hundred years ago. He doesn’t know why or who did it, but he is determined to find it. This story takes you on a joyful sleigh ride to find answers to these questions. Will the elves find a wife for Santa? Will the Reindeer Games go off without a hitch? Will Noel ever find the Library? Read The Elf Archive and find out.
Jordan David does a wonderful job of bringing Santa and his elves to life. Each department has a different color hat: pink for Elf Services, silver for R & D, light green for Finance, and so on. The author chooses delightful names for the elves: Holly Ivy, White Christmas, Garland Joy, and New Snow, to name a few. It is fascinating to see how the author weaves a story of what goes on at the North Pole, where the Santas come from, and how elves become elves and find their way in their world.
I rate this book 3 out of 4 stars. I would love to be able to give it 4 out of 4, but there are just too many spelling, grammar, and punctuation errors. He uses composer when he means composure, perspective instead of prospective, relieve instead of relief, “yes clam” instead of yes, calm, and “after all the elves did not complain,” which requires a comma after “after all.” If the author would have someone copy-edit it properly before publishing the book, it would easily rate 4 stars.
However, even with these mistakes, I really love this book and its predecessor, The Elf Brief. It is filled with excitement, mystery, drama, and comedy. I highly recommend it to everyone of all ages. Parents can safely read this to their children. The Elf Archive by Jordan David is a wholesome story, told extremely well.
