A Boy Called Christmas (Christmas, #1)

“An impossibility is just a possibility you don't understand yet.”

Nikolas starts with nothing but a turnip doll and a lot of hope. It makes you realize that being kind is a choice you make when things are hardest.

Miika the mouse is honestly the best part. Watching him dream about cheese reminds me that even small friends carry us through the dark.

The way the elves treat Nikolas at first is pretty brutal. It shows how fear of outsiders can turn even good people mean.

Joel goes missing looking for hope in the Far North. Sometimes people lose themselves trying to find a better life for their kids.
