The Christmas Mystery by Jostein Gaarder

5.0

I love this book. I have faithfully read it every December for many years and will continue to do so for years to come.

With a chapter for every day between the 1st and 24th of December it’s a perfect alternative to an Advent calendar.

Essentially it’s the Christmas story but at the same time it’s an adventure, a history lesson, a story about family and love and a mystery about a missing girl.

If you took all the magic of Christmas, rolled it in ink and smeared it across paper, this book is how it would look.

Merry Christmas!
