The dream team Arne Lindmo & Ida Skjelbakken is launching a standalone and action-packed Christmas novel in the heist genre! It's about four poor street kids who have decided to celebrate the best Christmas ever, they just have to pull off the biggest Christmas heist of all time! The novel is fully illustrated in color.
I bet this is going to be the best-selling Christmas book of all time.
Fantastic. The best Christmas book I've ever read!
Exciting, very different from all other Christmas books. Loved the book!
The best book of my life, not only among Christmas books but of all books.
Loved that it was exciting all the time. Everyone will enjoy this.
