A Christmas Carol, one of the holidays greatest traditions told . . . in texts?! Imagine: What if Scrooge, Marley, the Ghosts of Christmas Past, Present, and Future, and the whole Cratchit family had smartphones? A classic is reborn in this clever adaptation of Charles Dickenss A Christmas Carol! One grouchy old man who cant stop asking How did you get this number?! Three ghosts who communicate in the most modern ways, including one who ONLY uses emojis! And a status update with the most likes ever: God bless us, everyone! This retelling will cure even the worst bout of Bah hummingbird! #darnyouautocorrect A glossary and cast of characters are included for those who need it.

I did not pan this because I love A Christmas Carol and retelling the story through texts is an interesting twist - it was poorly executed and very sloppy - I would suggest getting this from the library if it sounds interesting to you 🙂

Make a great day everyone ❄

Bookaholicforlife I didn‘t know this existed! I am obsessed with Christmas carol retellings as well as the original story. I‘ll have to pick it up 3y
bthegood @Bookaholicforlife I recommend this as well - told from the view of two children who are in Scrooges house when the spirits arrive. 3y
Bookaholicforlife @bthegood thank you! I‘ll definitely look into it and pick it up 😊 3y

This version of A Christmas Carol told through texts and social media posts was okay. Sometimes the only reason I understood what was happening is that I‘ve read the book and seen multiple movie versions of it multiple times. In some areas, it was a little too jokey for me. I didn‘t hate it, but I won‘t be reading it again either like I do the original book.

A very modern retelling of A Christmas Carol—through texts & social media posts. Cute enough for a quick holiday read. 🎄
