The Adventures of Fawn: Book 2: The Ona Pendulum Kindle Edition

by Al E. Boy (Author, Illustrator) Format: Kindle Edition
4.9 out of 5 stars 10 ratings
Fantastic! Fun-tastic! Fawn-tastic!!
The Ona Pendulum is the exciting, award-winning second installment in The Adventures of Fawn series! It's actually two books in one, as Fawn and her friends not only find themselves on a rescue mission to save a magical device, but also witness the beginnings of the legend of Santa himself. Fawns and her companions must stop an evil former elf Princess from destroying The Ona Pendulum, a device that enables Santa, Wajic, the elves and reindeer to live for hundreds of years. The citizens of Santa's Village...and Christmas itself... are all in great danger! But before the young reindeer and her faithful companions can start off on their mission, they must first learn how a young woodworker named Kristoff Kringle went from his family's workshop to become the leader of hundreds of elves, and an icon of Christmas. They'll discover how he began delivering toys, how he met the elves, and where his famous, "Ho-Ho-Ho" comes from. They'll also learn about the Rua Ondos…wonderful, magical shooting stars which fell to Earth on the very first Christmas. The Ona Pendulum is an exciting, fun-filled adventure for children of all ages!

Reviewed By Sefina Hawke for Readers' Favorite
The Adventures of Fawn (The Ona Pendulum) by Al E. Boy is a children's coming of age story that takes place after Til the Last Snowflake Falls. This is a book that would appeal most to a mixed audience of children and young teens who enjoyed Til the Last Snowflake Falls as well as those who enjoy Christmas stories. Fawn is the reindeer daughter of Comet and Vixen, who teams up with her friends, Bunny and Snowboy, once again when Santa's very existence is threatened by an evil former elf Princess who seeks to destroy the Ona Pendulum. The Ona Pendulum is the magical item that has allowed Santa and his elves to live for centuries and without its existence, Christmas will be lost forever. Do Fawn and her friends have what it takes to save the day once more?

The Adventures of Fawn (The Ona Pendulum) by Al E. Boy is a well written book that I personally enjoyed more than the Rudolph story as the main character isa young female reindeer and the story line is longer and more attention grabbing. I did find myself missing out on some understanding of the characters and some of their conversations due to the fact that I did not read book one first, but those occasions were few and did not detract from my enjoyment of this story at all. Fawn was easily my favorite character with her willingness to embark on an adventure to save Santa, the elves, and Christmas. Overall, I enjoyed this book and when I finished it I was left with a desire to read book 3. This would be a great book to read aloud with one's family during Christmas as it will keep children entertained and adults will enjoy its uniqueness.

From the Author

From Jessica and Gracie's Tree (Oct. 2016)TheAdventures of Fawn Book 2: The Ona PendulumBook2 of The Adventures of Fawn literally picks up right where book 1 left off.Fawn and her friends just can't catch a break! They are all thrown into a newadventure, this time revolving around The Ona Pendulum, a device that controlsaging. All of the charming characters from book 1 returns, as well as a few newones. Snowboy still enjoys making up words, Fawn still has a bit of an angerproblem, and the amtastic hand-drawn pictures have also returned. As for thechanges, other than the obvious new adventure, Santa plays a larger part inthis one, it's a tiny bit more violent, we get some backstory, and there's alove story!
Iloved it. I haven't finished the third one yet, although the review forthat one will be posted soon, but I imagine it keeps the same tone and magicalquality. I'd recommend picking up the whole series to read during Christmas. Ifyou have elementary school kids or younger, read it aloud to them! It's amagical series that will delight during the holidays. Each book is pretty long,they are longer than typical kids books, so you could read thesethroughout the whole Christmas season!

    5.0 out of 5 stars Great Sequel In A Growing Children's Magical and Fantasy Series That Redefines The Holiday Season!

    The Review

    This is a brilliant continuation of an award winning children’s fantasy series. The author does a great job of upping the ante in the series as readers are treated to an original and unique origin story unlike any other. Getting to explore the history of Santa was not only fun, but the story created in this novel was more detailed, more action-packed and had more twists and turns than any other origin story for the holiday figure.

    A story of tragic losses, the past coming back to haunt the present, a perilous journey to save an iconic holiday hero, and tales of redemption make this story so engaging and hook the reader throughout the entirety of the story. Another evenly paced read, the novel does a great job of balancing the fantasy and magical elements of the novel with fantastic character building and interactions that make the story flow smoothly.

    The Verdict

    This is a brilliant sequel to a growing children’s fantasy series that redefines the Christmas season and the origins of Santa as a whole. The inclusion of Elven lore, the struggle for two very different worlds to find common ground and live in peace, and the pursuit of good and the will to do what’s right make this an inspiring story of children and parents alike to enjoy with one another, and is a great new chapter in the holiday season genre. If you haven’t yet, be sure to grab author Al E. Boy’s novel “The Ona Pendulum” today!

    5.0 out of 5 stars Books are not always what is expected and that is a good thing! That's what they are supposed to do

    After reading book one in the series, I mistakenly expected this to follow the same tone. Books are not always what is expected and that is a good thing! That's what they are supposed to do, challenge us! The author crafted a very unique, complicated, and fascinating journey surrounding the beginnings of Santa Claus and friends. This book made me think, and my favorite part was Bunny's spunk, always a fun character. If you expect this to be like every other Christmas, or Santa book, it will wonderfully surprise you. So leave all expectations behind, grab a cup of hot cocoa and open the first page with a fresh mind.

    5.0 out of 5 stars Action-Packed with Lessons Learned
    Reviewed in the United States on January 28, 2021
    This is an action-packed book in which Fawn and her friends discover a mystery that needs to be solved; Santa and others are acting differently at times – almost like “shorting out.”  It does not take long for Fawn, Santa, and others to figure out they must return to the beginning – when and where Kristoff Kringle became Santa in order to solve the mystery.  Once there, they discover the problem is the result of an evil princess seeking revenge and power for a past slight.  Throughout it all, lessons are learned, and friendships are made.  It is also delightfully creative in explaining how Santa came to be!

    The author, Al E. Boy has written a strong story of love, patience, family, forgiveness, and the power of Christmas. The story has a solid foundation, and the plot twists happen almost naturally.  However, they are not expected!  Boy is vivid in his imagery with details, painting a picture with his words.  The dialog flows effortlessly from one character to the next, from one situation to the next. 

    Pamela Tsujioka, the narrator, once again provided a strong performance.  Each character has a different and unique voice making it easy to tell the characters apart.  I also enjoy hearing her performances as she slips into each one easily (at least it seems this way) and gives us a more in-depth feeling of each one. 

    This is a book for listeners of all ages to hear.  I enjoyed this series and look forward to more.

    There were no issues with the quality or production of this audiobook, it was well done and clear.

    5.0 out of 5 stars The adventure continues
    Reviewed in the United States on February 24, 2021
    The Ona Pendulum is the second novel in the award-winning The Adventures of Fawn series by Al E. Boy. Appropriate and recommended for children and parents alike, these stories captivate and set free the listener's imagination.

    In The Ona Pendulum, we meet again with our favorite reindeer, Fawn, and she takes us into another wonderous adventure alongside her friends and foes. The same level of attention to details is exhibited by both the author, Al E. Boy, and narrator, the talented Pam Tsujioka.

    Pam brings once again Fawn and everyone else involved to life in a immersive and entertaining performance. Close your eyes, listen to her voice and you will be instantly transported to this magical realm filled with colorful characters and vividly described events. I highly recommend the entire series to everyone, regardless of age.

    4.0 out of 5 stars Whimsical and fun writing
    Reviewed in the United States on October 17, 2016
    I was hooked when I read the synopsis that said the story is set on the North Pole. Fawn is the main character (hence the series title), and she’s a reindeer – the daughter of Comet and Vixen, the famous reindeers of Santa, to be precise. She spends most her time alone in the stables at Santa’s Village, and she’s dreadfully bored. Although her parents warn her she’s too young to go out exploring on her own, Fawn sneaks out anyway, eager to meet some new friends and participate in some fun adventures. But she finds more than just adventures outside Santa’s Village – she also finds danger, and unexpected surprises.

    I loved the cast of colorful characters that Fawn got to meet during her adventures. The key element of the story is friendship, and some of the messages Fawn gets taught during the course of the book are very inspiring.

    A fun book that children will enjoy, and that sets everyone in the mood for the holiday season.

    I loved the first book and enjoyed the second one even more! The characters and stories were deeper, full of mystery and action! I loved knowing how Kris became Santa, how Christmas was born and how that magical world was created in the north. If book one was all joy and laughter, this one was love, forgiveness and understanding.
    I'm definitely a huge fan of Al E. Boy and i can’t wait to read the third part!
