Hamish And The Terrible Terrible Christmas And Other Stories

Danny Wallace, Simon & Schuster, £6.99

This trio of short stories is a festive feast of fun. Set in the boring town of Starkley, we see Hamish and his pals Elliot and Alice from the PDF (or Pause Defence

Force, as Hamish fans will know) take on the evil Terribles who plot to ruin Christmas.

There are many great one-liners, brill characters and delightfully gruesome illustrations.

OUR VERDICT 9/10
