The Christmas Thingy
About this book
Eight-year-old Jessica Atkins wants a monster for Christmas. Not a big, mean monster; more of a friendly little one to play with when she comes home from school, and maybe scare away the mice who live in her big old London house.But the old housekeeper, Mrs. Murgatroyd, warns her against wishing for a monster in this house. Exactly one hundred years ago the Christmas Thingy visited this very house and stole away with a load of Christmas presents.As Mrs. Murgatroyd's mum used to "Like a rose must bloom and a pig must squeal, a cow must moo and a thingy must steal. It simply must."Be careful what you wish for, Jessica...The Christmas Thingy is a heartwarming story for children (and adults!) of all ages -- and a delightful fantasy for every day of the year!
