Den sanna tomten – Lady Gurgelum och jag The True Santa

Marion and her family are, as usual, going away for Christmas, because Dad, for some mysterious reason, hates Christmas. But as they’re about to leave, Dad’s estranged sister calls them. Instead of going to sunny Italy, they have to go to a cold, secluded island far out at sea.

But what are those red things that keep popping up everywhere? And why are the lights on in the closed convenience store, the store that they’re absolutely not allowed to visit? Does Dad have even BIGGER secrets than a sister his kids didn’t know about?

The True Santa is a page-turning, humorous and magical Christmas adventure. A delightful read-aloud in 24 chapters, for the whole family.

Reviews

“The True Santa is a well-written book full of humor. The story has an intensity that keeps the reader engaged and eager to continue. The characters are entertaining, especially the younger sister, whose drive and strong will make her a driving force in many situations. The illustrations are rich in color and often reflect the emotional shifts in the text. The lively images create a warm Christmas atmosphere, while the Christmas-hating father undergoes a radical transformation at the end and embraces the holiday with open arms. All in all, this is a well-crafted feel-good book with high entertainment value.”
