November 2017 Book of the Month | A Julia Eccleshare Pick of the Month October 2017
Matt Haig’s romping adventure breathes fresh life into everything Christmasy. It is a bustling story full of delightful surprises and some wonderful dollops of magic. Orphaned Amelia, the feisty heroine of The Girl Who Saved Christmas is back for a new adventure in the magical town of Elfelm – a place unknown on human maps.
Now adopted by the newly married Father Christmas and Mary Christmas Amelia’s life is a far cry from her sad life in the world of humans. But being the only human in an Elf world, especially one where it is always Christmas, has its disadvantages. Christmas songs can get boring; toy- making tests are a new kind of torture.
However, when Christmas is under attack from the jealous Easter bunnies, Amelia is the first to fight back and save the day. ~ Julia Eccleshare
