Bundle up for the holidays! Jack Frost is nipping at your nose in this month’s Cricket.

In “Delivered,” go on a “soak” with a telegram delivery boy who has to overcome a blizzard, “the terrible nine,” and his dad’s memory to prove that he should keep his job. In the final episode of “Saving Freyfaxi,” find out if Kadlin can use her knowledge of runes to overcome robbers and save the great horse dedicated to the god Frey. Will Wendat boy Dyami fulfill the prophecy to save his dying mother by playing “Little Brother of War”? (And will he survive the dangerous game?) Read about an underground train that runs on . . . air; the ridiculous adventures of “Captain Monday of the Palace Guard”; and a Christmas in Prague where a friendly fish is on the menu (when he’s not swimming in the bathtub). The bugs will put you in a holiday mood with a Christmas Crossbird, a recipe for “Frosted Fruit,” a new poetry contest--and what’s sure to become the latest gift fad, the Cricket Country Positioning Device. Just ask Ladybug--you’ll never get lost with Cricket!
