Plans to spend a quiet Christmas with his nephew Benjamin fall apart almost immediately, and Geronimo Stilton spends the rest of the book trying to rescue the season.
Accidents pile up, the comedy stays broad, and the warmth underneath is never far from the surface. Kindness, family and refusing to give up are the notes the story keeps returning to, delivered through events rather than explanation. Colour pictures, oversized lettering and quick chapters make it easy going for readers around seven and upwards, alone or aloud.
Worth a mention:
• Festive entry in the Geronimo Stilton series
• Christmas preparations that go comically wrong
• Gentle messages about family, kindness and optimism
• Bright artwork paired with the layout style the series is known for
A seasonal gift option for children aged seven and above, and a good read-aloud for family evenings. Stocked by Boipoka.
