This book is just as magical as the bright red cover!It's not even snowy December. Yet I picked up this Christmas book because I was looking for some easy and first-pace read to get out of my reading slump! I am glad I read this book! This book is full of hopes and dreams! It will make you believe in magic! Maybe not real magic where there is an Elfhelm and the elves make Christmas presents for the children which are delivered by Father Christmas, but the magic which happens when you want someth...
A captivating and spellbinding historical novel for children set in the Victorian era featuring an appearance by Queen Victoria herself. A young chimney sweep, Amelia writes to Father Christmas asking primarily for help for her seriously ill mother. She is full of hope that her wishes will come true, but she is the only one. However, in Elfhelm, trouble is brewing with unhappy elves and trolls wrecking the North Pole with the intention of getting Christmas cancelled. Father Christmas is tested t...
“Life is like a chimney - you sometimes have to get through the dark before you see the light.” Didn’t enjoy this one as much as I did A Boy Called Christmas.It was still fun and cute and Christmassy. But some part where drawn out and a bit uneventful.I did however love that Matt gave the great mister Dickens such an important part to play in this story. Who better to believe in the magic that Father Christmas requires?These are fun stories and I will most definitely read them all, repeatedly ev...
Can Amelia feel the magic of that first Christmas? One year later her life could not be worse. Where is Father Christmas? It is a dire situation. Her hope could power the sleigh to go around the world, but how can Amelia have hope now? Filled with crazy references to elf time, reindeer, drimwickery, and troll treachery; this is the story you need to hear after reading A Boy Called Christmas. I really loved the part famous historical figures like Queen Victoria and Charles Dickens play in this se...
Sweet and wise, like its predecessor, A BOY CALLED CHRISTMAS. Made to be read aloud - preferably to a child on Christmas Eve - but failing that, to someone you love, on a dark night, with wine.
The story of Amelia Wishart, the first child ever to receive a gift from Father Christmas. Her hope made that first visit possible, because with hope comes magic, as we learning in Haig's first book, A Boy Called Christmas. 10-year Amelia's mother is very ill, and Amelia is trying to fill her shoes as a chimney sweep, along with her black cat, Captain Soot. She writes Father Christmas for help, who cannot help as Christmas is sabotaged by the trolls. Then tragedy strikes, and Amelia is sent to a...
Wonderful! <3
***3 stars***Another story that's perfect for reading to children around Christmas time 🎄🎅🤶❤️ The Girl who saved Christmas is a beautifully written and altogether a heartwarming tale, so don't be put off by my rating. I cannot say anything bad about this book, I just didn't enjoy it as much as I hoped I would.
This book is such a delight!! 💕🎄🎅🏻🌟Being set partly in Victorian London, I was pleasantly surprised by the fact that this book felt like it was meant for classics lovers! There is a wonderful "cameo" from a very popular Victorian author (who's name rhymes with Sharles Pickens 😉📖💕), and another from a person who just happens to live in Buckingham Palace (who's name rhymes with Nictoria 😉)! Matt Haig is so very clever with reinventing a story for Father Christmas and holiday traditions as a whole!...
What a wonderful children's book to place in a Christmas stocking! It is going to be a toss up between my granddaughter and grandson (9 yrs) as to who is going to read this book first. Perhaps my grandson, as he has a wonderful imagination and i can envision him being caught up in this story.Even as old as I am, I must admit to enjoying the story. Loved the illustrations, which were plenty. It took me back a few years to my childhood, where i used to read similar stories. I rarely write what a s...
