About The Book

All year long, Stephen Treadwell looked forward to going to the WACKI trade show with his dad and this year was no exception. The annual convention promised all the latest whirring, buzzing, and electronic gadgets.

But as soon as Stephen saw the giant billboard outside the convention center, he knew this would be no ordinary weekend. Somewhere inside the enormous building was the Tick-Tock Time Traveler and Stephen just knew he had to see it and find out for himself if it really was possible to travel back in time.

In this charming series, children will travel with Stephen and learn the true story of historic characters from church history. This first book in The Tick-Tock Time Traveler series introduces young readers to Saint Nicholas, the delightful and compassionate 3rd-century bishop who is the basis of our modern-day Santa Claus. As children meet him, they'll learn the real meaning of Christmas.


Coming soon in The Tick-Tock Time Traveler series: St. Patrick, St. Valentine, and more!

  • What a delightful and benevolent story! The combination of humor and charming illustrations had me smiling from beginning to end. The theme of this story, at least as I see it, is the love of Jesus Christ through the life of St. Nicholas (Santa Claus). Reading this book is a happy experience and I recommend it to any family who wants to teach their children the true meaning of Christmas. This is a story you will read to your children or grandchildren again and again because the timeless and often forgotten message of Christmas.

  • I have known Karla Johnson since she was a very young child. I have watched her grow up to become a very talented, ethical and capable adult.  I have read several of her manuscripts and found them to reflect these qualities in the content.
