heart, this is a modern Christmas classic in the making. With

tale will delight readers of all ages

An absolute Christmas cracker: whip-smart, witty and warm, bursting
with emotion and laugh-out-loud jokes. A classic Christmas treat
reconfigured into a heartwarming family romp for the 21st century,
featuring an elf on the shelf that's bad for your health. Kids and
adults alike will love spotting how Doyle has ingeniously adapted
the original text, but more than anything else, they'll be swept
away by George's fight to bring back Christmas and save his father.
I utterly loved it
*Ross Montgomery*
Both a celebration of a Christmas classic while also being a
magical adventure all of its own. Heart-warming, incredibly funny,
and action-packed, it's a story that truly captures the spirit of
Christmas
*Anna James*
Catherine Doyle has done the impossible - she has breathed new life
into this much loved and oft retold story, sprinkling it with her
inimitable warmth, charm, and humour. This vividly exciting and
poignant retelling made me believe in magic as fervently as I did
when I was a child. It is, to my mind, destined to become a
Christmas classic
*Louise O'Neill*
A charming reimagining of one of my favourite childhood reads,
managing to be both heart-warmingly familiar, and refreshingly new
at the same time. It's filled with miracle-making curiosities, a
delightfully bonkers cast, a purple reindeer with a grudge, and a
quest to mend two very broken hearts. All-in-all, a magical
whirlwind of an adventure filled with heart, hilarity, and
miraculous mayhem
