The Befana Drama by Gianna Hartwright Review

Reviewed by Patricia Shaw

Bef, broomsticks and boy band spell trouble for Santa. He had better be on the watch out for the Befana, who is plotting revenge against her former fiancé and fellow VIPB.

A story set in today’s multicultural world where old traditions struggle to survive. The Befana is determined not to be forgotten by her beloved Italian children. In this well written and enjoyable book the Befana takes you round the world visiting a whole range of magical people and a variety of places in order to settle the score and ensure the continuation of her festival. An extremely enjoyable book that I highly recommend to anyone looking for a festive adventure.

This stupendous story starts in Italy, the traditional home of the Befana.
Have you asked yourself yet what a VIPB might be?  It is a Very Important Present Bringer.
Exciting, thrilling, and fun to read.

Brilliant descriptions of Santa’s magical kingdom make you wish you could see it for yourself.
Excellent inclusion of the Italian language and reference to Italian culture.
Fantastic characters, beautifully described and carefully chosen.
Awonderful storyline which keeps you intrigued right up to the last page.
Nothing forgotten, all your questions answered before you’ve even asked them.
Amust this Christmas for children aged 8+ (and young at heart minded adults).
