The Sun's 'Pick of the Week' for December 2022 is a delightful festive story that will captivate readers aged 8 to 8,888! Introducing the HUMBUG Family, a unique and unconventional Christmas-themed family that defies the traditional stereotypes associated with elves. Unlike their glittery counterparts in sparkly wrapping paper and snowy storybooks, the Humbugs are not the kind of family you'll find on Christmas cards or knitted on your grandma's favorite festive jumper. Instead, they work in a much less glamorous part of Santa's factory, the RPD Department, responsible for Reindeer Poo Disposal. Yuck! However, when a mishap involving mince pies and a letter-losing incident leads to their exile from their home, the Humbugs, along with their clumsy Reindeer, Blister, and wheelie-bin sleigh, embark on a great and daring adventure.
During their journey, they discover the true meaning of Christmas and the real heroes who make it special. Humbug is a rare book that combines humor, originality, thought-provoking themes, and instant classic status. Author Jacqueline Wilson praises it as "funny, festive, and a page-turner," while Francesca Simon describes it as an exquisite Christmas story filled with imagination and heart. The book is suitable for the whole family to enjoy year after year, and it has received endorsements from acclaimed authors such as Amy Huberman, Steven Lenton, and Matt Haig.
With its hilarious and heartfelt narrative, Humbug will bring laughter, tears, and the irresistible urge for a mince pie to readers of all ages. The book also carries a touching and thought-provoking message to key workers who tirelessly toil behind the scenes to make everyone's lives better. Whether you're a fan of Christmas classics or looking for a new and entertaining read, Humbug is a must-have that will leave you feeling warm and fuzzy inside. So, snuggle up with a hot beverage and enjoy this delightful festive story that will remind you of the true spirit of Christmas.
