Naughty Week... That time between Christmas and New Year’s when Santa goes on vacation and kids are allowed to be as naughty as they want to be. Or is it? For Harrison and his brother Max, it most certainly is because they found the travel itinerary that proves it.
When one of Santa’s misfit elves arrives to collect the evidence, she further fuels the boys’ naughty adventures. But when Harrison takes Naughty Week too far with a literal cat burglar and hatches a plot to “fake rob” a bank, things spiral out of control. For Harrison, there’s only one person that can fix the mess he’s created: Santa Claus. In the end, Harrison learns there are always consequences for his actions.
Exploring such themes as family, change, choices, and loss, NAUGHTY WEEK is a fun-filled Christmastime novel that captures the earnest spirit of a 10-year-old boy.
Im Weihnachtshimmel herrscht helle Aufregung. Das Christkind ist krank und kann die Geschenke nicht auf die Erde bringen. Auch die Engel sind ratlos. Es sind noch so viele Geschenke zu verpacken, so viele Plätzchen zu backen, und wie nur sollen die Geschenke rechtzeitig zu den Kindern auf der Erde kommen? Und dann ist da ja auch noch Marie mit ihrem Wunsch, den selbst die Engel kaum erfüllen können. Was für ein Schlamassel, und das ausgerechnet an Weihnachten! Kann Jule den Engelchen helfen?
Eine traumhaft schöne Weihnachts-Gute-Nacht-Geschichte, die wie die anderen Hörbücher aus der Jule-Reihe musikalisch eingerahmt ist. Harfe, Klavier, Flöte und altbekannte Weihnachtsmelodien wie 'Leise rieselt der Schnee' oder 'Stille Nacht, Heilige Nacht' schaffen eine behagliche Winter-Kuschel-Atmosphäre. Damit eignet sich dieses Hörbuch für Kinder von 4 bis 10 Jahren und vermittelt ihnen die wunderbare Botschaft, dass es die schönsten Geschenke nicht unbedingt zu kaufen gibt.
