Title: Father Christmas and Me
Author: Matt Haig
Publisher: Canongate Books
ISBN 13: 978-1786890689
Synopsis:
It isn't always easy, growing up as a human in Elfhelm, even if your adoptive parents are the newly married Father Christmas and Mary Christmas.
For one thing, Elf School can be annoying when you have to sing Christmas songs every day - even in July - and when you fail all your toy-making tests. Also it can get very, very cold.
But when the jealous Easter Bunny and his rabbit army launch an attack to stop Christmas, it's up to Amelia, her new family and the elves to keep Christmas alive. Before it's too late . . .
Review:
This was a really sweet and heart warming story. I read the first two (A boy called Christmas and The Girl who saved Christmas) last Christmas and am so pleased I read this one. It started a little slow maybe but soon picked up and I am not ashamed to say I shed a little tear at the end. I really felt for Amelia and loved seeing how she carried on despite hardships. It was a great story.
