Listening to the song “The Twelve Days of Christmas” is a beloved holiday tradition.
Now comes a new one: Reading James Patterson’s instant classic, The Twelve Topsy-Turvy, Very Messy Days of Christmas.
APPLE BOOKS REVIEW
A family overcomes their grief together in this feel-good holiday read. Since Kate Sullivan passed away on Christmas Day, her husband, Henry, and children, Ella and Will, haven’t felt much like celebrating the season. But five years later, the kids decide it’s time to help their dad find happiness again—on an online-dating site. Not long after putting their scheme into action, the family begins receiving odd anonymous gifts. There’s one for each of the 12 days of Christmas, and they fill their home with some much-needed fun and excitement—not to mention several partridges and turtle doves! We loved the gentleness and humor that James Patterson and Tad Safran bring to the Sullivans’ journey.

Really a Great Story!
This book was a wonderful escape from all of the mysteries and “Who Dun-its”, I read. Thanks James and Tad.
Relatable characters
Beautiful book. I enjoyed it very much. I loved the idea of the twelve days of Christmas interwoven in a very relatable story.
Too weird
Silly in an ok way.
