They called him a monster and a killer. They told him he was incapable of love and couldn't be trusted around children and other animals. They judged him for his looks, for his breed. They warn me to be careful and to not leave him alone with my children. But they do not know him like I do. They don't see past the scars, the trauma, and the abuse. They see his past and believe the lies on the media, they don't understand him like I do. I understand when to leave him alone, I understand he gets frustrated just like I do. They see a dog that is known to fight, to kill, and to attack. I see a lost soul that was forced to live a life of pain and suffering as he was beaten and starved into doing things he never wanted to do. I see kindness even after living a life of hell. I see a hero in him, in the entire breed. They are willing to die to make us happy and we can't even take the time out to understand that we are the main cause of their pain.

Jack Frost is a Jack Russell terrier, a small, active, energetic dog that lives with Santa and Mrs. Claus at the North Pole. He loves to play with children in their snow forts and run at top speed plunging into snowmen. He loves to chase Snowflake the white Persian cat that lives in his house. But the thing he loves most of all is sitting outside the window of a small farmhouse during the holidays listening to a little girl inside play her guitar. The little ice dog eagerly awaits the Christmas season and his yearly trip to visit the girl he loves so much. As he leaves Santa's workshop behind, Jack's one wish is to have a family of his own. During the lights, the snow, and the music, Jack faces a difficult decision; does he ask Santa for the one wish in his heart? Or does he choose to continue to spend his life spreading joy and laughter as Jack Frost?

Jack Frost, a Jack Russell made completely of ice, feels it's his life's purpose to find homes for lost and abandoned animals. Finished homing all the animals before Christmas, Jack has decided to go to Prince Edward Island in Canada for the Jack Frost Festival. And, wherever Jack goes, adventure surely follows. This trip is no different as Jack learns how thrilling it is to live aboard a ship in the middle of winter. From finding a message in a bottle that turns out to be an SOS, to exploring a lighthouse and making a few unlikely friends, Jack has a lot of stories to tell when he returns home from his adventure in the Maritimes. While sharing Jacks' escapades, this book for middle readers also communicates the importance of acceptance and love while uniting lonely animals with people who love them.
