A Christmas Carol is a classic novel by Charles Dickens about a grumpy, selfish, melancholy old man named Ebenezer Scrooge. He believes homeless people should go to prison or into workhouses. He hates Christmas and is not generous to anyone, even himself. One freezing cold night he is haunted by three Christmas ghosts that will change his life forever. The moral of this book is to be generous to others and enjoy what you have – and also spend time with friends and family. Even though this book was written in 1843, the messages are still relevant today. I rate this book 4.9/5 and recommend it to people who like to read classics. @GymGirl of the Teen Review Board at the Hamilton Public Library I was forced to read this book because of school but I was glad I was! This book showed how people can change and how we should not judge others. Christmas is not Christmas without this wonderful classic novel. This novel suggests that people should not be so concerned with money. Money is not everything and it certainly did not buy the main character’s happiness. I absolutely loved the author’s way of writing. It was so detailed, and it made me visualize everything perfectly. This was a heartbreaking and heartwarming story at the same time. At first, I hated the main character, he was selfish and cruel. But later, in the book he changed and became a kind man who cared for everyone around him. I watched a lot of movies based on this story but none of them were as great as the book. I recommend this book to the people who like Christmas stories, you are in for a treat! A Christmas Carol is truly a timeless classic and a wonderful novel. This was a short novel, well plotted, easy to follow, beautifully written story. I enjoyed this book a lot, I give it a four out of five. @Nat of the Teen Review Board at the Hamilton Public Library
