No one wants to lose a loved ones close to a holiday.  It takes all the holiday spirit right out of someone.  Stephan is a little boy who is having a bad time since his father died.  While in a bit of a bad moment, he tells his brother there is no Santa.  Boy does that put him on the naughty list.  And it makes him ripe for the picking from Krampus.  And pick him he does.  Krampus wisksStephan away to the land Christmas forgot and a war between Krampus, the forgotten and Santa’s helpers ensue.  This was a fun holiday listen.  Not too scary, but still “horror” for the holidays for kids.

This is the perfect read to get you in the mood for Halloween and Christmas. Perfect for all the family. Was so full of fun and excitement, kids will love this at bed time.

And I have to mention that cover. It’s absolutely stunning. One of my favourite covers ever!

A lovely little book which makes you feel really Christmassy and I am sure kids would love to have it read to them in the time just before Christmas.
