Summary

The HILARIOUS new novel and the year’s most perfect festive gift – from million-copy bestselling author David Baddiel

It used to be the most WONDERFUL time of the year, but for years Christmas has been taken over by Winterzone.

All the things that made Christmas special are gone: the human connection, the baubles passed down through generations, even the rubbish cracker jokes.

Instead, Christmas is run by robots, while 3D holograms of Santa Claus called Santavatars check if you’ve been naughty or nice – and on Christmas Eve, all of the presents are delivered by ZoneDrones instead of Santa’s reindeer!

But when they stumble on a curious clue, eleven-year-old Etta and her friend Monty find themselves thrown into a fight to bring back Christmas. Racing against time and against the might of Winterzone, they must find the real Santa – before the true meaning of the festive season is lost forever . . .

It was great full cast and everything the only bad thing is that it was very short I did finish it in one night I don’t think it was quite worth a whole credit because it was so short but overall it was really good I loved it.But I would like it a bit longer maybe 30 mins longer or a bit more.

Was great
