Roald Dahl meets Elf in this warmhearted Christmas caper about the boy who would one day be Santa Claus, from the New York Times bestselling author of The Midnight Library.

 

Now a Netflix movie starring Kristen Wiig, Maggie Smith and Henry Lawfull!

 

Eleven-year-old Nikolas–nicknamed “Christmas”–has received only one toy in his life: a doll carved out of a turnip. But he’s happy with his turnip doll, because it came from his parents who love him. Then one day his father goes missing, and Nikolas must travel to the North Pole to save him. 

 

Along the way, Nikolas befriends a surly reindeer, bests a troublesome troll, and discovers a hidden world of enchantment in the frozen village of Elfhelm. But the elves of Elfhelm have troubles of their own: Christmas spirit and goodwill are at an all-time low, and Nikolas may be the only person who can fix things–if only he can reach his father before it’s too late. . . .

 

Sparkling with wit and warmth, A Boy Called Christmas is a Christmas classic-in-the-making from acclaimed author Matt Haig and illustrator Chris Mould.

來自紐時暢銷書《午夜圖書館》的作者講述了一個男孩長大後將成為聖誕老人的故事。羅爾德•達爾在這部溫馨的聖誕狂歡中遇見了精靈。

 

本故事現在改編成由克里斯汀•韋格、瑪姬•史密斯和亨利•勞福爾主演的網飛(Netflix)電影！

 

十一歲的尼古拉斯--綽號“聖誕節”--一生中只收到過一個玩具：一個用蘿蔔雕刻的娃娃。但他對自己的蘿蔔娃娃很喜歡，因為它是深愛他的父母送給他的禮物。突然有一天他的父親失踪了，尼古拉斯必須前往北極去救他。

 

一路上，尼古拉斯結識了一隻粗暴的馴鹿，打敗了一個討厭的醜怪，並在冰凍的精靈村發現了一個隱藏的魔法世界。但是精靈村的精靈們也有自己的麻煩：聖誕節的氣氛和善心空前低迷，尼古拉斯可能是唯一能解決問題的人--只要他能在為時已晚前找到他的父親……

 

《聖誕男孩》故事溫馨充滿機智，它是由著名作家馬特•黑格和插畫家克里斯•莫爾德創作的聖誕經典。
