The Miracle on Ebenezer Street

Lisa Beasley

I enjoyed aspects of this and the writing was good but I did have issues with the dad as the Scrooge character, by giving him a family who he treated really badly it made him not only more unlikeable but also meant the family members just took the abuse and let him ruin their lives really. I just felt perhaps it could have been toned down a bit, perhaps more of the reasoning behind the Scrooge behaviour would have helped. 

It was good but won't be one I reread

George and his father are about to spend their third Christmas without George's mother. Since she died, Hugo Bishop has thrown himself into his work, and has no time for George -- and he definitely has no time for Christmas. It feels like they're living life in black and white. Then, George stumbles across Marley's Curiosity Shop. There he finds a mysterious snow globe, which -- though George can't quite understand how -- appears to show a scene from George's past. A Christmas in which he and his family were together, and happy... That night, George and his father are swept on an adventure to three Christmases -- past, present, and future. With a little bit of hope, and just a touch of magic, can they begin living life in full colour again?
