The HILARIOUS new novel and the year’s most perfect festive gift – from million-copy bestselling author David Baddiel It used to be the most WONDERFUL time of the year, but for years Christmas has been taken over by Winterzone. All the things that made Christmas special are gone: the human connection, the baubles passed down through generations, even the rubbish cracker jokes. Instead, Christmas is run by robots, while 3D holograms of Santa Claus called Santavatars check if you’ve been naughty or nice – and on Christmas Eve, all of the presents are delivered by ZoneDrones instead of Santa’s reindeer! But when they stumble on a curious clue, eleven-year-old Etta and her friend Monty find themselves thrown into a fight to bring back Christmas. Racing against time and against the might of Winterzone, they must find the real Santa – before the true meaning of the festive season is lost forever . . .

Good book for Christmas or any time really, looking into the future of what Christmas could be like with more technology. But is it all for the better or worse?

Love the idea of a story with a modern twist but it just didn't appeal to me. You should read it for yourself and find out if it appeals to you!

Funny and very interesting, with an unexpected plot twist!

This book is about a company trying to destroy Christmas and how 2 children go about saving it but fixing it. I loved when the girl went undercover by pretending to be on the bad side then did a switch. What I didn’t like was the family meeting because I found it boring. I’d recommend this book to those who love the funny side.
