Winterton is a frozen town with frozen hearts and frozen people. A magical humbug that attracts the magical reindeer of Santa is brought to the town of Winterton by a little orphan girl. The warmth of the little girl and the magical music of the humbug bring Santa, the reindeer and Christmas back to Winterton.
This is a cute story on how an icy city was changed into a nice warm loving town after an orphan girl and a humbug moved in. I totally love this children's picture book. The author is wonderful at expressing and describing the cold town of Winterton, very descriptive lots of adjectives. The illustrations are on a graphic type. My teenager made comment that maybe even scary to a smaller child. The theme how an frozen cold unbelieving town becomes a friendly warm believing town is very well developed.
