In some ways, our children are used to Christmas being virtual with travel restrictions meaning a lot of family get-togethers are being done online, and as a consequence, a lot of the long-held traditions and rituals have been let go. The hilarious new novel and the year's most perfect festive gift - from million-copy bestselling author David Baddiel. His children’s books have sold more than a million copies in the UK alone, and his debut, The Parent Agency, won the Laugh Out Loud Book Award.The story is set on Christmas and revolve around children of different types, one very smart to detect a hologram and another who is sensitive and sweet. It used to be the most WONDERFUL time of the year, but for years Christmas has been taken over by Winterzone. Who cares if this company seems to know EVERYTHING about you and the holographic Santa cannot give you a hug? For many, Christmas is about family and making memories and there is a lot of effort put into making it a magical time but what do our children actually take on board?

The story depicts the alternative futuristic Christmas and two children who strive to get the traditional Christmas back. I enjoyed how simple yet unique this story was and it is a lovely festive read that I know my children will thoroughly enjoy now that I've finished borrowing their book. This story is ideal to read and share with KS1 and lower KS2 at the end of long school afternoons in December. She has been told stories about how Christmas used to be and is determined not to put up with this soulless facsimile ay longer.I enjoyed the audio version, with several voices contributing to the characters, including the author.
