Summary

In "Daddy Takes Us Skating," Howard Roger Garis crafts a charming narrative that captures the joy and innocence of childhood winter adventures. With vivid imagery and a whimsical tone, Garis invites readers into a world where simple pastimes, like ice-skating, become profound moments of family bonding and exploration. Set against the backdrop of a nostalgic American winter, the book effectively communicates themes of joy, togetherness, and the fleeting nature of youth, all while embodying the early 20th-century literary style that emphasizes sentiment and moral lessons. Garis'Äôs masterful use of dialogue and his keen observation of children'Äôs perspectives illuminate the magic found in everyday experiences. Howard Roger Garis, a prolific author known for his contributions to children'Äôs literature, often drew from his own upbringing and familial relationships, which profoundly shaped his writing. His ability to capture the essence of childhood experiences reflects not only his dedication to young readers but also his insights into the importance of family dynamics. Garis'Äôs life as a writer during the early 1900s, when family leisure activities were cherished, influenced the creation of this timeless tale. "Daddy Takes Us Skating" is a delightful read that appeals to both children and adults alike. Its rich narrative serves as a reminder of the simple pleasures that define our formative years. I highly recommend this heartfelt work to anyone seeking both literary enrichment and nostalgia, as it encourages readers to cherish their own memories of childhood joy and familial love.

    Gambling on hope, Evil Eddie and his bad guy friends, feed the hungry slot machines in a small town casino. Work for them is borrowing money by day and gambling by night. A sad story for a bunch of no-good-nicks, but that's all they have is hope... The hope of winning a "Big Jackpot" at the Casino. 
    Fast forward to the year 2050! The casino has been torn down to make room for a Supermall. Not just any Supermall, but one with a very special wishing well. A wishing well filled with magic coins! The Supermall is owned and operated by the dynamic Miss Kelly Kelly who has one very special employee, an alien, with superhero powers! But this Superhero is different. Although he has a cape, he doesn't have a secret identity. He willingly uses his superpowers at his job as the "handy, but sometimes clumsy" alien in the mall. One of his jobs involves granting wishes and cleaning the wishing well, which is full of magic coins. His name is Hoodoo. 
    One day, while showing the wishing well to a local radio announcer, Jack Stumbleberry, Hoodoo accidentally gets sucked down the drain. The drain is a time portal, and Hoodoo is hurled through it. He travels back in time and lands in the casino dripping with water and magic coins. 
    Evil Eddie claims the magic coins as his winnings from the slot machine and tells Hoodoo he won them fair and square. Then with the help of his henchmen, Eddie locks Hoodoo in a big freezer to keep him quiet and out of sight. 
    Now that Hoodoo is out of the picture, Evil Eddie uses the power of the magic coins to take control of the town...
