Deck the halls… and brace for chaos! — Santa & Son by David Walliams

As winter draws near, the UK’s favourite children’s author David Walliams delivers his first ever Christmas caper: Santa & Son. Set on Christmas Eve, the story unfolds in “the most famous toy shop in the world” where a daring robbery is underway—and Santa and his son find themselves locked inside with the baddies.

The mayhem begins when toys become weapons: pogo sticks, bouncy balls, remote-controlled helicopters, slime, stink bombs and more fly into action as our heroes fight to save Christmas.

With lively illustrations by Adam Stower, the book blends slapstick fun and heart-warming family moments—perfect for readers aged 8–12 (and anyone looking for a festive laugh).

Walliams’ signature comic voice shines through: the stakes are real (it’s Christmas!), the characters determined, and the tone full of mischief and merriment. It’s not just about thwarting the bad guys—it’s about father-son team-work, toy shop escapades and keeping the magic alive in the face of chaos.

If you’re searching for a holiday read that’s funny, fast-paced and full of festive spirit, Santa & Son stands out as a top choice. Curl up with it by the fire, share with the kids or even gift it to a young reader who loves wild adventure and big laughs.
