Lemony Snicket meets Klaus in this warmhearted Christmas caper. Eleven-year-old Nikolas—nicknamed “Christmas”—has received only one toy in his life: a doll carved out of a turnip. But he’s happy with his turnip doll, because it came from his parents, who love him. Then one day his father goes missing, and Nikolas must travel to the North Pole to save him. Along the way, Nikolas befriends a surly reindeer, bests a troublesome troll, and discovers a hidden world of enchantment in the frozen village of Elfhelm.

Download or read book A Mouse Called Miika written by Matt Haig and published by Knopf Books for Young Readers. This book was released on 2021-11-09 with total page 208 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Ratatouille meets Roald Dahl in the funny and fantastical story of a determined mouse on a mission to procure the world's tastiest cheese. From the author of A Boy Called Christmas–now a Netflix movie starring Kristen Wiig, Maggie Smith and Henry Lawfull! When Nikolas left the only home he had ever known, it was a mouse named Miika who kept him company, and it was Miika who accompanied him on his journey to the Far North, in search of his father. But before the events of A Boy Called Christmas, this little mouse was the hero of his own story. A Mouse Called Miika is an epic adventure story on a miniature scale. It's a tale of mice and men (and more mice). It is about one independent mouse who gets fed up with the other mice, and sets out on a quest of his own to prove that cheese exists, and learns to appreciate other creatures. It is also a tale of great love (of cheese) and great danger. And learning the lesson that, with cheese, as with life, what matters most is not how strongly you smell, but how strong you are on the inside. Funny, cheeky, wise, and packed full of Matt Haig's signature warmth. This is set to become a year-round children's favorite.

Download or read book The Boy That Christmas Saved written by Tom Hollis and published by Christian Faith Publishing, Inc.. This book was released on 2019-04-24 with total page 71 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Christmas is not endangered. Since the dawn of television, we have been treated to countless holiday specials featuring storylines where Christmas is threatened""Christmas must be canceled due to stormy weather; Christmas is drained of its magic because children don't believe in Santa anymore; or nefarious villains steal the wealth of presents in order to destroy Christmas. We are tempted to conclude, as these stories suggest, that Christmas is a frail and fragile thing which needs a hero to save it! Hence, we have seen Rudolph the red-nosed reindeer save Christmas, a town of mice who save Christmas, Sesame Street's Elmo saving Christmas, a Veggie Tales toy that saves Christmas, and even Ernest the redneck had to save Christmas once. This may be entertaining, but it is supremely silly. Christmas is not endangered, frail, or fragile. Christmas is God's work to infuse divine grace into the world. The power of Christmas is the nativity of Jesus Christ, which no creature ever could have devised or delivered. No creature needs to "save Christmas." On the contrary, it is Christmas that saves us. God's gift of Christmas has the inherent power to melt or mend hearts and introduce us to a new beginning in life. This is the reason for this happy little story, The Boy That Christmas Saved. It's Christmas morning in the Hoffheffer home, but seven-year-old Hiram is hiding in his room for shame. Hiram knows he has been a bad boy and fears the consequences. When Hilda and Hector, Hiram's parents, grow worried about him, they use some extreme and humorous tactics to placate their son. They discover, however, that salvation and new beginnings are things that only God can do, and Christmas is the perfect day for it.
