Charles Dickens’ masterpiece A Christmas Carol is a perennial favorite. After the coldhearted miser Ebenezer Scrooge encounters the ghosts of Christmas, his hardened, humbug heart becomes full of joy and goodwill, transforming the man just in time for Christmas.

"I think that this book was very vivid and creative because it has a moral within itself. It teaches you to be generous and kind to others, rather than be a selfish, greedy person that everybody will hate. This book is truly wonderful, almost like a classic within itself. Highly recommended. "

— Hannah (5 out of 5 stars)
