The Girl Who Saved Christmas
The Girl Who Saved Christmas | Matt Haig
If magic has a beginning, can it also have an end? When Amelia wants a wish to come true she knows just the man to askFather Christmas. But the magic she wants to believe in is starting to fade, and Father Christmas has things other than impossible wishes to worry about: upset elves, reindeer dropping out of the sky, angry trollsand the chance that Christmas might be cancelled. Amelia isnt just any ordinary girl, though. And as Father Christmas is going to find out, if hes going to save Christmas, he might just need some help . . .

The days between Christmas and New Year are some of my favourite days of the year. I‘ve saved this one to keep the Christmas spirit alive. Nothing like a children‘s book to do that. ❤️

The trolls and the Story Pixies were naughty. Amelia, Father Christmas, and the elves were nice.

The second book in the series was as sad and heartwarming in parts as A Boy Called Christmas. It was nice to revisit old characters as well as meeting new ones. Like the first book, holding on to hope was essential.4.5 stars. 7,610 Word Search.

This series is so cute. I think I might have enjoyed this one a little bit more than A Boy Called Christmas. Some parts of it were a little slow, but they are short so you can get past them quickly.

megnews I love this series too and I felt the same about the second book. I loved all the little cameo appearances. 3y

4⭐️ An excellent follow up to A Boy Called Christmas and equally as entertaining as the first book. I felt that it dragged a wee little bit towards the end but it was still a fun and enjoyable read. #2021 #bookreview #bookstagram #christmasstories #fiction #middlegrade #victorianera #mistletoemaniacs #wintergames2021 #averymerryreadathon +41pts

I read this before the Boy Called Christmas, but it didn't distract from the magic! Definitely a book to share with kids (especially the peeing powers of Blitzen) and a good book to gift them for some Jolablokaflod reading!

I really enjoyed the second book in this Christmas series by Matt Haig. It takes place many years after A Boy Called Christmas, when Nikolas is an adult Santa Claus. I think I liked this one even better than the first. I hope Netflix decides to turn this book into a movie, as well.

The 2nd book in the series and it starts right where “A Boy Called Christmas” ended. Amelia believes in magic more than anyone, but then something happens that makes it hard for her to believe. But Father Christmas needs her to believe to save Christmas, to stop time and fly to deliver presents to all the kids.

Continued The Warmth of Other Suns #OtherSuns

I‘ve finished Samlede Verker
I read Snømannens jul, A Boy Called Christmas and The Girl who Saved Christmas.

I‘m still reading my advent calendar books.
And I‘m almost done with the book on octopuses.

Update on the chess: The winner is the one that first reaches 7,5 points and Magnus Carlsen did that yesterday and won his 5th championship title in the classical chess.

Fifth book finished for #DashingDecember, 4th for #WinterSolstice

Loved this book and enjoyed it even more than A Boy Called Christmas. Great story, with some great characters, and loved how it ended. Recommend the book to others. A great Christmas story.

With cameo appearances by Charles Dickens, Queen Victoria & Prince Albert, and the Loch Ness monster, as well as the wonderful, magic-filled world of Elfhelm, this sequel does not disappoint. I‘m looking forward to the others in the series.

I finally know how Santa delivers all those presents in one night!!!

This author has the best imagination. The world he creates is magical and coming up with an explanation to the age-old question of how Santa delivers the world over in one night is no easy feat!

Deifio So Santa has a time machine? Or at least a time stopping machine? Cool! 😍 5y

#ShadowCat is happy with his new scratch board. He has drooled on it three times since I unwrapped it for the cats. 😁

We played board/card games last night. My kids wanted to stay up and wait for Santa, but they were soooo tired. 😁

By the way, the chicken was superb!

I'm wearing my HP sweater, but the kids don't want to. 😑

I seem to be on a semi-Litsy hiatus. I‘ve had no time for anything lately! 😭 I am putting all other current reads on hold now, otherwise I‘ll never get up to Christmas books at this rate! Starting this one, but I only have 10 minutes.

Also, hello new people who keep randomly friending me! I have no idea how you‘re finding me when I‘ve been an ultimate Litsy slug for the past couple of months, but it is an honor to be your friend!

Bklover Welcome back! There was a Litsy update that changes how people are suggested as friends to new users. It changes daily based on posts and replies (not litfluence). Quite a few of us have lots of new Litsy friends! 6y
hgrimes @Bklover Ohh! Thank you! I was worried Litsy had been taken over by bots at first when I opened my app the other day and had a sudden flurry of friend adds when I haven‘t been active, but then everyone looked legit! 6y

I picked up this book not realizing it was a sequel, so I was a little confused at first. Overall the story was good, but it took some strange turns. It was basically two different stories -- one about the titular girl, and the other about drama with trolls and pixies at the. North pole. I was into the "real world" story, but never got into the "magic" story. Having read the first book now I understand why it was like it was, but found it so-so.
