Humbug: The Elf Who Saved Christmas

Funny, original and moving. The perfect festive story for readers aged 8 to 8,888! Meet the Humbug family! Christmas elves, but not as we know them. The Humbugs aren't the kind of family you see on sparkly wrapping paper or in snowy storybooks about Santa's grotto. You won't see them on the front of Christmas cards, and they definitely won't be knitted on your grandma's favorite festive jumper. Those happy scenes are only for the likes of the workshop elves and certainly not the Humbugs.

Nope! They manage a much less glamorous part of Santa's factory, the RPD Department... That's Reindeer Poo Disposal to you and me. Yuck! But when a mince pie-related mishap combined with an unfortunate letter-losing incident sees them exiled from their home, the Humbugs - together with their clumsy reindeer, Blister, and wheelie-bin sleigh - go on a great and daring adventure, where they discover the true meaning of Christmas and the real heroes who make it special!

A perfect Christmas stocking present - a very funny, festive page-turner. Humbug is that rare book: funny, original, thought-provoking, and an instant classic. An exquisite Christmas story, full of imagination and heart. For the whole family to read year after year! You'll laugh, you'll cry, you'll need a mince pie - a new Christmas classic! A hilarious, huge-hearted hug of a book; perfect for all ages.

For fans of Matt Haig, The Christmasaurus, and Elf on the Shelf. With a touching and thought-provoking message to key workers who tirelessly toil behind the scenes to make everyone's lives better.
