Depressing!
Part way through the book with our 10 year old and it only makes him sad and depressed. This is NOT a good Christmas book at all. It is completely depressing and sad. Maybe ok for families who can relate to fighting, divorces and hate. Step sister through the kids stuffed pig out the car window and didn’t get reprimanded for it but the kid does when he shows how upset he is? Can’t sit through anymore of this book. Will be returning it! We are big Harry Potter fans but this book is a huge miss for Rolling.

Not recommended!
When we saw this book we had such high hopes. The cover art was beautiful, it looked like a fun holiday read aloud, and the author was J. K. Rowling so it must be fantastic right? Wrong!! This was an awful book. My children and I did not enjoy it and couldn’t even finish reading it although we tried night after night to give it a fair chance. Right from the start the first few chapters are filled with divorce and anger and all kinds of family relationship problems. Not the good feel holiday fun we were hoping for. Then one character who gets set up to be a good role model and a hero in the book turns out to be a completely different personality in the very next chapter and it’s written terribly like the author didn’t really know what the character was suppose to be like. Once the adventure finally gets going it’s wordy and redundant and hard to read. Chapter after chapter feels exactly the same only the names of the places change and all the random characters change but the plot goes nowhere. Really this was such a disappointment. I tried so hard to make it fun and get my kids excited each night but finally the kids all agreed there was no point to the story and it was incredibly boring and lacked any type of holiday charm whatsoever. Huge disappointment and one of the worst children’s books I’ve ever read. Would not recommend!

Wondrous Fun
Bought this book to share with family. Began reading it myself and was immediately swept into the story. Another family member reading it now. Was a tale of imagination that brought me to tears at the end. I may be an adult, but I fell in love with the story and the characters.
