Classic Retellings

Carnegie Medal winning author Tanya Landman delivers a refreshing and truly accessible retelling of Charles Dickens’ beloved Victorian Christmas classic. It’s Christmas Eve and everyone is in the holiday spirit … all except miserly old Ebenezer Scrooge, who despises the holiday season. But when he’s visited by the ghost of his former business partner, who tells him he’ll soon encounter the three spirits of Christmas — Past, Present and Yet to Come — Scrooge is forced to confront his selfishness and embrace compassion, generosity and the true meaning of Christmas. Particularly suitable for readers aged 11+ with a reading age of 9.
