Father Christmas And Me by Matt Haig

Amelia lives in Elfhelm, a magic place hidden from humans thanks to Father Christmas saving her from a bad life in a workhouse along with her cat, Captain Soot.

When Father Vodol starts to cause trouble at Father Christmas's wedding, Amelia gets threatened by Vodol and along with starting her new elf school, she worries of what's to come.

There's bonding with pixie's and elves, breaking sleighs and riding reindeers. But there's danger ahead as Amelia learns of a threat to them all, an old evil enemy of their folk, living not too far away are the evil rabbits in Elfhelm. Unlike rabbits in the human world and they're ruled by the Easter bunny but they're not nice or to be celebrated!

Amelia, the elves and father and Mary Christmas have a battle on their hands to keep the peace and save Christmas...

Wow, what a book this was! It was truly different in a crazy creative way, evil Easter rabbits and Vodol alike Harry Potter's sounding Voldemort both enemies too this was a battle for Christmas which makes you laugh and worry at the same time. Amelia has faced all the bad things in her life and battles on strong even when the going gets tough again and it's great to have a strong young girl character in a book for children. I loved it and I'm not even a child, one for the family I feel this book can be.

Many thanks to the publishers for allowing me to review this book for them!
