Description

Alfie is a 14 year old orphaned midget. He has just one wish – to grow tall. He believes that would help him gain lots of adoring friends and even impress Charlene, the girl of his dreams. He tries all tricks and tips to increase his height, but to no avail. Finally, he pins all his hopes on a miracle by writing to Santa and stays ‘good’ through the year. Christmas arrives, but Alfie’s wish doesn’t get fulfilled. Hurt, and deeply disappointed, Alfie runs away from his orphanage to look for Santa. That is only the beginning of a fantastical journey that takes him across mythical lands where he meets creatures straight out of fairy tales. With a wicked wizard out to dominate the universe and a worried Santa with his share of woes, Alfie has his hands full. Will he be able to achieve his dream? With the help of his best friend, Bullet, a pug and Pedro, an owl, he just might!

Interesting fairy tale for kids

Got my copy of the book and was quite excited to see the images in the inside cover of the book... a novelty when it comes to such books in the market. The author has a penchant for underdog characters as shown in his earlier book Knocked Up as well as this. However, this book covers the story of an orphan 14 year old kid. The story is quite gripping and I finished the same in one setting. Now eagerly waiting for the next book in the series. I think by slotting this book as a kid's book is a ...

Highly recommended

After decades I was able to relive my childhood days with this book. Shaiju remindes me of Enid Blyton's books. The story is unique and gripping. Every character brings out a unique shade and takes the tale ahead. A great buy this Christmas season for you and your kids. A definite buy.
