Hi everyone
Can anyone recommend some good stories to read to DS aged 8 around Christmas time?

Thanks!

Any ideas people? Thanks

Last year, I read the Children of Green Knowe to DCs (then 5 and 8). This year, it will be The Box of Delights. The Story of Holly and Ivy by Rumer Godden went down very well, too, but is probably not really one for very masculine boys.

That's really helpful, thank you! We read green knowe last year too!! Thanks
