Summary

As well as being a number one best-selling writer for adults, Matt Haig has won the Blue Peter Book Award, The Smarties Book Prize and has been shortlisted three times for the Carnegie Medal for his stories for children and young adults. The idea for the A Boy Called Christmas series came when his son asked what Father Christmas was like as a boy.

Journey to the edge of magic.

If magic has a beginning, can it also have an end? When Amelia wants a wish to come true she knows just the man to ask - Father Christmas. But the magic she wants to believe in is starting to fade, and Father Christmas has more than impossible wishes to worry about. Upset elves, reindeers dropping out of the sky, angry trolls and the chance that Christmas might be cancelled.

The Girl Who Saved Christmas

I couldn't help myself I had to read this one too, it is just as good as the first, incredibly Dickensian, not everything goes smoothly for Amelia, but the situation improves greatly. Carey Mulligan, is a natural born storyteller. I'm sorry that I'm finished, I enjoyed both this book and it's predecessor so much, I'm going to have to start again soon.

Lovely story, well read

I really enjoyed this audio book. The story was sweet, funny and heartwarming. The narrator did a great job.
The editing could've been done a bit better though, leaving, at least tiny, breaks between chapters to make it clear that a chapter has ended and the next one is about to begin.

Lovely story

A beautifully written, humourous yet meaningful message throughout the book. Loved how new characters were introduced and how they related to the messaged. Lovely read, no matter your age.
