Canongate Books The Girl Who Saved Christmas

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

I know Matt Haig sometimes reads his Amazon reviews so if you're having a bad day, Matt, this is for you. I bought this as a present for a 7 year old having bought her A Boy Called Christmas last year. (She loved it - as did her mother). Sequels are hard; so I gave The Girl Who Saved Christmas a test run to make sure it was on a par.. I was not disappointed. Gosh, it was/is lovely. And there I was gobbling it down on my Kindle on my miserable commute to work when the days are short and dark and you just need something to keep you going until Christmas..My bigger bonus as a present-buyer was the book has a cat in it.. and this girl, well, she loves cats..I mean REALLY loves cats.. Even bigger bonus for you, Matt, is that her mother loved the sequel so much she bought her "Father Christmas and Me" as a Christmas present... Thank you for bringing so much pleasure (even though I did a little sob in the you-know-what bit at the beginning... ).

Bought this book 📖 as my 10 year old boy had been reading it in School. He is autistic and struggles to describe anything. The fact he could tell me this story I knew it was one we could share. Bought as a Christmas present.Defo one to buy for your child’s or a child you know bookshelf.

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.

Thought it would be more exciting. Looks great but my daughter lost interest halfway through.

Great, will be a Christmas Eve gift to read in bed
