| book description |
 ‘Funny, original and moving’ The Sun ‘Pick of the Week’ December 2022 The perfect festive story for readers aged 8 to 8,888! Meet the HUMBUG Family! Christmas Elves, but not as we know them... The Humbugs aren't the kind of family you see on sparkly wrapping paper, or in snowy storybooks about Santa's grotto. You won't see them on the front of Christmas cards, and they definitely won't be knitted on your grandma's favourite festive jumper. Those happy scenes are only for the likes of the workshop elves and certainly not the Humbugs. Nope! They manage a much less glamorous part of Santa's factory, the RPD Department... That's Reindeer Poo Disposal to you and me. YUCK! But when a mince-pie-related-mishap combined with an unfortunate letter-losing-incident sees them exiled from their home, the Humbugs - together with their clumsy Reindeer, Blister, and wheelie-bin sleigh - go on a great and daring adventure, where they discover the true meaning of Christmas, and the real heroes who make it special! ""A perfect Christmas stocking present - a very funny, festive page-turner."" - Jacqueline Wilson, author of The Story of Tracy Beaker ""Humbug is that rare book: funny, original, thought-provoking, and an instant classic."" - Francesca Simon, author of Horrid Henry ""An exquisite Christmas story, full of imagination and heart. For the whole family to read year-after-year!"" - Amy Huberman, author of The Day I Got Trapped In My Brain ""You'll laugh, you'll cry, you'll need a mince pie - a new Christmas classic!"" - Steven Lenton, author and illustrator of Genie and Teeny A hilarious, huge-hearted hug of a book; perfect for all ages. For fans of Matt Haig, The Christmasaurus, and Elf on the Shelf. With a touching and thought-provoking message to key-workers who tirelessly toil behind-the-scenes to make everyone's lives better.
