Matt Haig · 3 novels · 1 novelette · 2015–2021
Matt Haig's A Boy Called Christmas follows eleven-year-old Nikolas, whose only toy is a doll carved from a turnip, as he journeys to the North Pole to rescue his missing father. Along the way he befriends a reindeer, outwits a troll, and discovers the hidden village of Elfhelm, where the elves' Christmas spirit is running dangerously low -- and where Nikolas may be the only one who can restore it. The story continues in The Girl Who Saved Christmas and Father Christmas and Me.
