Father Christmas and Me Review: Great book! - This book starts off where the second book left off. Amelia is now living with her adoptive parents Father Christmas and Mary/Mother Christmas in Elfhelm. Amelia is finding it hard to adjust and fit in in Elfhelm and feels like she doesn't belong. As if that wasn't enough, Father Vodol has plans of his own to make the other elves believe that humans are dangerous and shouldn't be allowed in Elfhelm. There's also the jealous Easter Bunny and his rabbit army who are out to stop Christmas. As with the first 2 books, 'A Boy Called Christmas' and 'The Girl Who Saved Christmas', I enjoyed this book just as much. I love the stories and characters Matt Haig has created and brought to life. I love the illustrations by Chris Mould. These books give a magical feeling as well as life lessons. Definitely a must read for all ages! Review: My favorite of the Father Christmas Series - Matt Haig is one of my favorite authors, (he also writes adult fiction and non fiction), and I own several of his books. I first purchased A Boy Called Christmas last holiday season to read with my two children each night before bed, (Ages 6 & 8). We all loved that book, so we had to get the other two as well as The Truth Pixie books. That being said, this was actually my favorite of the three books about Father Christmas, and I particularly loved the message about hope, perseverance, and kindness. These are all things I am trying to teach my children, and I love how Matt Haig weaves these ideas throughout his books. My children particularly love the character of the Truth Pixie, (A Pixie who literally must always tell the truth) as she has some very comical moments throughout the books. This month Netflix just released the film adaptation of "A Boy Called Christmas," and my children were so excited to see it, my son was begging to put it on first thing in the morning. We all enjoyed that as well (although they made some changes from the books, but it was still good). :) If you are looking for a funny and magical series to read with your children during the holidays this is it. ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | Best Sellers Rank | #1,077,419 in Books ( See Top 100 in Books ) #207 in Children's Books on Adoption #555 in Children's Christmas Books (Books) #11,475 in Children's Action & Adventure Books (Books) | | Book 3 of 3 | Boy Called Christmas | | Customer Reviews | 4.7 4.7 out of 5 stars (893) | | Dimensions | 5.08 x 0.71 x 7.8 inches | | Edition | Reprint | | Grade level | Preschool - 2 | | ISBN-10 | 1786890720 | | ISBN-13 | 978-1786890726 | | Item Weight | 7.2 ounces | | Language | English | | Print length | 304 pages | | Publication date | November 5, 2019 | | Publisher | Canongate Books | | Reading age | 7 - 9 years | ## Images ![Father Christmas and Me - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/91SA1xaBgjL.jpg) ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Great book! *by D***D on December 17, 2018* This book starts off where the second book left off.

I knew I would love the third, and so I began “Father Christmas and Me” and it was no surprise to me that it was as charming as the first two. This begins where the second book leaves off, and Amelia Wishart is now living with her new adoptive parents, Father Christmas and Mary Christmas in Elfhelm. ”But Elfhelm is an ordinary town in lots of ways. A small town. An oversized village, really. And there are normal things there, like shops and houses and a town hall. There are streets and trees and even a bank. “But the people who live there are very different to me. And very different to you too. “They aren’t even people. Not human people anyway. “They are special. They are magic. “They are, well… “They are elves. But the thing is, if you are surrounded by elves, it isn’t the elves that are the weird, unusual creatures. “No. “It’s you.” I loved the artwork in this book, all of the books in this series, I loved the story, the frequent nod to the magical elements that had a quirky twist on those normal completely non-magical things in life. ”There was a reindeer clock in the living room, which was like a cuckoo clock but instead of a cuckoo popping out it was a reindeer. Oh, and it didn’t tell ordinary human time with boring things like ‘six o’clock’ and ‘twenty past nine’. It told elf time, and elf hours were called things like Very Early Indeed and Way Past Bedtime.” I loved that this was written for children, to be read to a child would make it even more magical all the way around, and it is silly enough, more than charming enough and yet entertain even those old enough to have children of their own. Magical! The artist responsible for the wonderful illustrations is Chris Mould, and they really are beautifully matched to this wonderful holiday story. --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.pt/products/164958703-father-christmas-and-me](https://www.desertcart.pt/products/164958703-father-christmas-and-me) --- *Product available on Desertcart Portugal* *Store origin: PT* *Last updated: 2026-04-23*
