The Wilson family is spending Christmas with Grandpa and Grandma. Rudy and Amanda are excited about seeing their grandparents and their even more excited about unwrapping presents. After the adults went to bed, the kids sneak downstairs to look at all the gifts under the tree.
Rudy starts playing with the light switches to Grandpa’s miniature Christmas village. Rudy and Amanda are zapped into the village. There, they go by different name and have new parents. The villagers are upset that the library has gone missing. One day it was just lifted up into the air.
The kids find away to return to their Grandparents house. Over the next few days, they keep returning to the little village.
The Christmas Village is a cute story for kids. The two main characters, Rudy and Amanda, act just like normal children at Christmas. They have their minds on one thing: Gifts! While reading the book, I kept thinking of the Chillogy episodes from the Goosebumps television series. They both involve kids going into a miniature town. The only difference is that the Christmas Village is meant to charm you, not scare you. Yes, there is a message of giving just like any other Christmas story. Overall, I enjoyed reading the book and I recommend this to every one of all ages.
*I would like to thank the author for sending me a copy to review.
