The Girl Who Saved Christmas by Matt Haig

5.0

I received this book as a download from Netgalley, thanks to the publishers. This book is an absolute delight, after A Boy Named Christmas I wasn't sure if the magic could be created again but Matt Haig smashed it out of the park! Delightful, heartwarming fairy tale suffused with the joy and spirit of Christmas, I can't wait to get hold of a physical copy to treasure. Young Amelia has an awful time after her mother dies and she is sent to the strictest workhouse in London and her hope is all but extinguished for a while. Meanwhile there are problems in Elfhelm and Father Christmas has his work cut our sorting them but when he and Amelia meet for the second time the magic truly begins and builds to an extremely happy ending. This book should be on everyone's Christmas list this year.
