Book Summary:
A Christmas story that focuses on how spirits could change how a grumpy lonely man lives out his days. He learns how to finally live and realize the mistakes he has made to make his life this way. 

Book Review:
Honestly really enjoyed the book. It was simple and easy to understand and a feel good story. I hope to read this exact book to my kids. 
The end seemed rushed; needed more expanding or elaboration; ending was just a bit abrupt and I wish it followed his life a bit more after his changes. 

Notes:
A lot of new words to use; almost two new words each page. 

Favorite Quote:
“It is required of every man … that the spirit within him should walk abroad among his fellow-men, and travel far and wide and if that spirit goes forth in life, it is condemned to do so after death.” -the Ghost of Marley 

Favorite Part: 
When the ghost showed Scrooge that everywhere and no matter what, people had the Christmas spirit on that one night. He was so humbled by flying over the water and how dark it was. 
The celebrations over at the Crachits’ house.
