Thirteen-year-old Jendrik is annoyed – by his parents, his younger sister and the stupid, never-ending and irritating chores he has to do around the house. One day, while taking out the rubbish, he comes across another person who wants to make his life even more difficult. He finds a grandpa – not Jendrik’s own – sitting in their shed, claiming to be Father Christmas. Great – that was the only thing missing in Jendrik’s life! But it’s no good – if he wants to get rid of the strange old man, he’ll have to help him … A Christmas story to read to oneself or aloud to grumpy brothers, feisty sisters, and parents who should take out the rubbish themselves once in a while – it could just be worth it! Charming, caring, and cheeky – presenting Gary Christmas!
