A short Christmas interlude to the Strangeworlds Travel Agency trilogy, this delightful short story has Flick Hudson and Jonathan Mercator meet the literal Father Christmas. As per most stories of this kind, it tackles finding family and warmth in the midst of the cold winter season, which extra pertinent for Flick (whose dad is an orphan) and Jonathan (who is missing both of his parents). Mostly, it recycles the usual "all the stories are true" feeling that the series already has, with a surprising ending that will excite readers about to move on to the third book of the series. Wonderful, short read!
