A heartwarming retelling of Charles Dickens' <i>A Christmas Carol</i>

A well-balanced, well-told Christmas story as heartwarming as you could wish for

Full of Catherine Doyle's signature blend of humour, hope, and heart, this is a modern Christmas classic in the making. With clever nods to the original, Doyle's fresh take on the familiar 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

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

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

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

Delightfully festive . . . Warm, imaginative, and brimming with Christmas magic

This reimagining of A Christmas Carol is simply spellbinding

A dazzling feat of imagination. Enchanting: I was bewitched

Catherine Doyle's delightful novel moves deftly from melancholy to "jolly holly", genial all the way

Action-packed, full of imagination...uplifting

When George stumbles across Marley's Curiosity Shop at the Christmas fair he finds a mysterious snow globe. The scene it contains is just the first in a series of impossibilities . . .<br/>
George and his Scrooge of a dad are soon swept on a hilarious adventure to Christmases past, present and future. With help from an enthusiastic elf, a rather grumpy purple reindeer and a very mischievous Nan, can George find a way to bring the joy of Christmas home once again?<br/>
This is a fabulously festive story about finding Christmas, family, and magic!
