Canongate Books The Girl Who Saved Christmas

It was a perfect gift on Christmas for my niece. She loved it!

A nice one to start in early December to keep your Father Christmas magic topped up. Bought after watching tv movie of the earlier Boy Called Christmas. This is very different and Dickensian set. Great adventure story. Was good for an 8 yr old but beware a caveat for sensitive children that the main girl’s mother does explicitly pass away in front of her.

Kids in grade 3 or 4 and up will love it a great trilogy story A Boy named Christmas is the ist

All three books in this series are magical. I read them all to my step daughters as bedtime books over December and I was hooked and so were the 4 and 7 year old girls. The story is both sad and uplifting drawing on life’s ups and downs and several historical wrongs involving the treatment of children. The books follow on beautifully from one another and Matt Haig takes his story and plants it firmly in your minds eye so you are almost living beside Nicholas and everyone he meets on his journey to becoming Father Christmas. Just beautifully written and magically charged books that every parent should have handy for Christmas bedtimes. Can’t wait till December 2019 so I can read them all again.

Daughter loved it.

I read this at night to my seven year old daughter and she absolutely loved it. We didn't read th first book having watched the movie, but have now ordered the rest in the series as Christmas presents.
