The top-ten bestseller and must-have gift, discover the joy of gift-giving in this hilarious caper from bestselling author, Ben Miller. 

All Tog wants to do is work in Santa’s workshop and one wonderful day, the letter from Santa arrives: Tog has been selected as an apprentice elf! Making toys is a lot more technical and a lot less fun than Tog had imagined, and even though his new friend Holly tries to help him, he’s quickly relegated to cleaning out the reindeer stables.  But someone has been stealing the presents from the workshop and a case of mistaken identity finds Tog accused of being the culprit!  Can Tog use his special Christmas magic to discover the real thief and save all the presents before Christmas Eve is over? A funny and heartwarming story about the true meaning of gift giving, from the King of Christmas, Ben Miller!

It’s a really good and short book but very interesting to read!! It also gives you some Christmas vibes and teamwork is probably the moral of the story! So I really recommend it!!!!

I like Holly the best because she has the same sort of attitude as me and I like her because she is a very smart person.
There was an elf called Holly who was best friends with an elf called Max who everyone thought was the best but Max and his dad were secretly plotting about steeling Christmas but then another elf joined as Hollys friend called Tog and together they defeated Max and his dad.
Yes i do recommend the book to people who love fiction books especially at Christmas time.

I lived this book

This was a great story and helped our imagination. It was great to hear about all of the jobs for elves at the North Pole. My favourite characters were Tog and Holly and the worst characters were Max and Grimm Grimmisson. You will have to read this to find out more!

The Diary of a Christmas Elf should be read by children about 7years old and older. I found the story strange at first but quite funny in parts. It could be quite sad too in places but I wouldn't recommend it for younger children.
