Bookroo's summary
Harry Gruber is anxious about his role as Scrooge in the school play, especially with his smartphone-obsessed dad finally in the audience. As the performance unfolds, can the timeless message of Christmas cheer and love transform his father's distracted heart? This modern twist on a classic tale explores the power of family and redemption in a digital age. Will the spirit of the season break through the screen and reach his dad?
From the publisher
A timely retelling of A Christmas Carol for the whole family about a smartphone-obsessed dad.
This Christmas, join Michael Rosen and Tony Ross with their unforgettable retelling of Charles Dickens’s beloved holiday classic. Harry Gruber plays the role of Scrooge in his school’s production of “A Christmas Carol,” and he is extra nervous about tonight’s performance because his father is in the audience — not away for business, as usual. Will the story’s message of Christmas cheer and the redemptive power of love reach his father’s distracted Scrooge heart?
