The Accidental Father Christmas
Tom McLaughlin (, Devon, UK)
The latest hilarious caper from author Tom McLaughlin. Funny by name. Funny by nature.
Ben has one important thing on his Christmas list, and it’s the same thing every year. He wants his dad to be at home for Christmas. But his wish never comes true. And Ben’s starting to get a bit sceptical about Father Christmas’s existence, he needs proof. So, on Christmas Eve, he sets up an elaborate booby trap to capture the jolly bearded fella as he comes sliding down the chimney. Kicking off a sequence of hilarious events that makes this Christmas the most bonkers ever!

This story is about a boy named Ben who traps Santa and causes absolute havoc across Christmas. I liked Santa Claus because even though he did get trapped, he was speaking in a funny way with his words. I would recommend this book to people who likes cool adventures throught Christmas.

It was a nice book to read but not the best in my opinion. But if you are someone who likes Christmassy adventure books then I would recommend it . If you like books by Tom Mclaughin then this would be perfect. Love from Duchess Blossom Lanzarote

I really enjoyed the book and definitely recommend this book to you. As well as recommending this book to you, I also rate it five stars. It was hilarious and a perfect book! Ben has been wanting to find out if Father Christma is real, so he set up a trap! Father Christmas then can't remember anything...He doesn't know he's Santa. But then, there isn't a lot of time lft to deliver the presents...Will they make it?

I thought that this book was awesome. I think that Ben must have been really desperate, otherwise he wouldn't have trapped Santa. I am also shocked that Number 1 is Derik, Ben's father. I thought that Number 1 was the most evil person you could ever meet but when I actually heard his story, I felt really, really sorry for him. All he wanted was a toy U.F.O and he never got it. Jimmy is tough but I'm certain that no one is as tough as Big Tony. My favourite charcter is Santa AND Ben beacsue Ben helped deliver all the presents. Without him, Christmas would have gone normally (the trap Ben made ruined everything) but with him, Christmas also would have gone normally. So, I figure that it is a win-win. I like Santa because he is so jolly and forgiving. I reccomend this book to everyone as it is awesome and amazing and it kept me reading. I couldn't take my eyes off this amazing book! It is hilarious!

I give this book 4 for the funny jokes and when Father Christmas loses his mind he goes super funny and crazy. I would recommend this book for people who have liked other books by this author.

I thought it was crazy and fun. my favourite part was when he tried to deliver all the presents with the elves. The character I liked most was big Tony because I could imagine his voice in my head! I would recommend it because it's very creative and different to the real world.
