A Boy Called Christmas

A Boy Called Christmas

Before there was Santa Claus, there was a young boy who believed in the impossible. . . . Lemony Snicket meetsÂ ElfÂ in this warmhearted Christmas caper.
Â
Eleven-year-old Nikolasâ€”nicknamed â€œChristmasâ€â€”has received only one toy in his life: a doll carved out of a turnip. But heâ€™s happy with his turnip doll, because it came from his parents, who love him. Then one day his father goes missing, and Nikolas must travel to the North Pole to save him.Â
Â
Along the way, Nikolas befriends a surly reindeer, bests a troublesome troll, and discovers a hidden world of enchantment in the frozen village of Elfhelm. But the elves of Elfhelm have troubles of their own: Christmas spirit and goodwill are at an all-time low, and Nikolas may be the only person who can fix thingsâ€”if only he can reach his father before itâ€™s too late. . . .
Â
Sparkling with wit and warmth, A Boy Called ChristmasÂ is a cheeky new Christmas classic-in-the-making from acclaimed author Matt Haig and illustrator Chris Mould.
