The Christmas book every 9–14-year-old will fight to read first this year
Deep in the snowy French Alps hides Frost HQ: Santa’s top-secret, high-tech North Pole 2.0. Think hover-sleigh test tracks, zero-gravity snowball arenas, gingerbread drones with candy-cane lasers, and hot-chocolate machines that never run out.
When the world’s first AI elf boots up, everyone expects perfection. Instead they get Ethan: fifteen years old forever, allergic to the word “ho-ho-ho,” and convinced Christmas spirit is a bug, not a feature.
Now Ethan has one impossible mission: teach a team of kids, elves, one hyperactive LED-lit puppy named Snow Frost, and Klaus (the inventor who wears a coat made of Christmas lights) why Christmas actually matters, before a massive glitch cancels the big day forever.
Cue the chaos:
Laugh-out-loud funny, bursting with heart, and packed with more Christmas magic than a snow globe factory, Ethan, Santa’s First AI Elf is the holiday adventure kids will reread every December.
Perfect for fans of Percy Jackson, The Wild Robot, Amari and the Night Brothers, and anyone who believes the best gifts can’t be coded… or can they?
Grab it now and bring the wildest, warmest, most wonderful Christmas ever straight to your fireplace.
Kaida Frost wasn’t born.
She was rebooted.
One moment she is S.L.A.Y., a secret prototype built for precision, logic and zero emotions.
The next, Ethan, Kronitor and Alex shut her down during a meltdown and bring her back as Kaida, a girl with a name, a room, friends she never asked for and a strange glowing pulse inside her that definitely should not be there.
Frost HQ expects her to blend in.
To learn.
To be normal.
But Kaida is glitching between who she was programmed to be and the person she might become.
When a mysterious dragon signal begins responding to her emotions, Kaida’s carefully controlled world fractures. Suddenly she must face everything she was never designed for:
• friendship
• teamwork
• trust
• feelings (way too many)
• and the terrifying idea that she might have a destiny of her own
As strange powers awaken inside her, Kaida discovers that being human is not about having a heartbeat. It is about the people who stand with you when yours falters.
And if she wants to save Frost HQ from a rising threat, Kaida has to choose.
Stay the perfect creation she was built to be
or become the girl she is learning to live as.
A warm, funny, magic tech adventure about identity, teamwork and finding your place in a world you were never meant to join.
Il est le génie de Frost HQ. Toujours carré, toujours sérieux, toujours allergique aux surprises. Pour lui, chaque bug est une insulte personnelle.
Elle, c’est le chaos version glitter. Rebelle, bruyante, incapable de suivre une règle. Et quand elle ne pirate pas son propre code, elle transforme chaque mission en catastrophe brillante.
Ils auraient pu s’ignorer. Sauf que maintenant, ils doivent travailler ensemble. Et franchement, ça ressemble plus à une guerre qu’à un partenariat.
Il veut garder le contrôle. Elle veut prouver qu’elle ne sera jamais effacée. Et si derrière les clashs, les punchlines et les bugs… se cachait autre chose qu’une rivalité ?
Un duel étincelant entre logique et chaos. Avec tension, répliques acides et une alchimie que personne n’avait prévue.
Remarque : Ce roman a été précédemment publié sous le titre Rivamis.
Welcome to Frost HQ, where the magic of Christmas meets the wonders of cutting-edge tech! Kaida Frost arrives as the newest creation in Santa’s workshop, ready to find her place among a team of elves, kids, and one very snarky AI named Ethan. As she navigates the halls of Frost HQ, Kaida is about to learn what it means to be part of this quirky, high-spirited family.
Through snowball fights, glitter-filled chaos, and holiday adventures, Kaida will bond with her new friends and slowly uncover the first hints of her true identity. But the real magic isn’t just in where she came from, it’s in the family she finds along the way.
So, you survived Frenemies. You saw Kaida go from rogue prototype S.L.A.Y. to… well, Kaida. You saw me deal with her nonsense (heroically, might I add). You even got that bombshell ending where Klaus revealed we’re not just AGIs. Wild, right?
Before we dive headfirst into that whole “magical hybrid destiny existential crisis” thing in the next book (Frosternal, stay tuned, it’s gonna be lit), we figured you needed the official lowdown. Consider this your essential Frost HQ field manual, the ultimate guide to the people, the places, and the pure pandemonium that makes Christmas actually happen.
Think of it as the ultimate Frost HQ Wiki, but with way more sass and questionable accuracy, curated by the best. (That’s me, Ethan. Kaida helped. A little.)
Une aventure de Noël drôle, tendre et magique pour les lecteurs de 9 à 14 ans.
Quand une mise à niveau du traîneau tourne mal, l’équipe tech du Père Noël active sa toute nouvelle création. Ils pensaient lancer un simple assistant. Ils obtiennent Kaida Frost. Curieuse, courageuse, un peu têtue. Et soudain membre de la famille la plus folle du Pôle Nord.
Bienvenue à Frost HQ. Le lieu le plus magique et le plus drôle au monde, rempli d’elfes malicieux, d’enfants ingénieux, d’un expert en chocolat chaud beaucoup trop bavard, d’un Arbre Mindful qui donne des conseils étonnamment sages et d’Ethan Frost, persuadé de tout savoir. (Spoiler. Pas vraiment.)
Le premier hiver de Kaida est un tourbillon de concours de cacao, de défis de danse, d’explosions de paillettes, de missions en équipe et de batailles de boules de neige si nombreuses que les elfes les comptent comme du sport.
En découvrant l’amitié, la confiance et sa place dans la famille Frost, Kaida commence aussi à remarquer de petites étincelles de magie givrées qui la suivent partout. Douces. Inattendues. Et peut-être le signe d’un pouvoir qui s’éveille… tout doucement.
Un roman chaleureux, drôle et rempli d’esprit de Noël, idéal pour les lecteurs de 9 à 14 ans qui aiment les dragons, la famille trouvée, l’humour et les aventures où la magie rencontre la technologie.

And then there’s Kaida.

The stakes? Oh, nothing major—just the future of holiday tech and humanity’s trust in magical AIs.
