Audiobook: A Boy Called Christmas

So this book, aptly titled A Boy Called Christmas by Matt Haig, caught my attention because I was looking for a new book this holiday season to share with my son. In all honestly, I didn't realize this was an audio book until after it arrived (my fault, for not reading the description). That being said, I was a little nervous that the audio book would not keep my seven year old's attention. Luckily, this book grabbed our imagination from the start so my son "tuning out" was a non-issue.

I was pleased to discover a new Christmas book that wasn't cheesy or a subtle rehashing of the usual Christmas stories. In a nutshell, A Boy Called Christmas tells the tale of a boy named Nicholas (duh!) who faces many hardships during his childhood. Magic elements ensue (reindeer! trolls! pixies!) and Nicholas becomes a hero.

Will your child enjoy this book? YES! But even better parents, YOU will too. Add this one to your reading shelf for next Christmas.
