Ever wondered what Santa Claus did before starting his annual Christmas trip around the world? "A Boy Called Christmas" is a children's book that answers all your pressing questions. Matt Haig writes about 11-year-old Nikolas, who has parents who love him, but only has one toy: his turnip doll. One day, his dad disappears, and Nikolas realizes he needs to go to the North Pole to rescue him. Trolls, reindeer, and an enchanted village help him along the way. The story is about the spirit of goodwill and how Nikolas earned the nickname of Christmas before the holiday ever existed.
