The Christmas Mystery Review: The Christmas Mystery - I really enjoyed reading this book to my grandchildren. I gave the older siblings a copy so they could read it the next year to their younger siblings. My granddaughter (who was nine at the time of the first reading) and I found quite a few typos, but they didn't hamper our understanding and enjoyment of the story. The book is meant to be read as an Advent calendar (one chapter each day beginning Dec. 1 and finishing Dec. 24). The story begins in northern Europe in this century, travels back in time through Europe to the Middle East, and ends in Bethlehem at the birth of Jesus. My grandchildren loved it. Review: 2000 years in 24 days - I read Jostein Gaarder's Solitaire Mystery and Sophie's world, so I knew anything by him will be interesting. I was not disappointed. My husband and I read the kindle version aloud, one calendar day chapter each morning, just checking it out for our grandchildren. But soon we got interested and intrigued by the clever and well researched and documented stories underlying the main story. An 8-year-old girl runs after a little lamb and ends up traveling back in history from Norway in 2000 to Bethlehem at the time of Jesus' birth. On the way, each day is joined by another figure (shepherd, wise man, angel, more sheep) and learns from them about geography and history in those places at that time, for example the pied piper of Hamlin at the time of black plague. Eventually we had to open the atlas to follow her journey! It was all sweetly informative. A perfect advent book for a family to read together. The ending was a little let down, like always when a mystery is solved. My husband did not like the ending, would have preferred, if it ended with a question mark. I liked it. As soon as we finished I ordered a paper edition to be sent to our grandchildren for next Christmas advent. They are 6 and 8. ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | Best Sellers Rank | #3,125,795 in Books ( See Top 100 in Books ) #2,151 in Religious Mysteries (Books) #9,361 in Contemporary Literature & Fiction | | Customer Reviews | 4.3 4.3 out of 5 stars (413) | | Dimensions | 6.32 x 0.66 x 9 inches | | Edition | First Edition | | ISBN-10 | 1559213957 | | ISBN-13 | 978-1559213950 | | Item Weight | 12.6 ounces | | Language | English | | Print length | 232 pages | | Publication date | January 1, 2010 | | Publisher | Moyer Bell and its subsidiaries | ## Images ![The Christmas Mystery - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/81ESVn0eBaL.jpg) ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ The Christmas Mystery *by F***. on June 12, 2013* I really enjoyed reading this book to my grandchildren.

I'm not much of a geographer or religious person, but this book made me see the Christmas journey in a very different light. I find myself thinking about the book's contents on a regular basis and go back frequently to compare geography and historical descriptions of the characters. I don't do that with any other books. I just find this story really fun and I wish I could find my own advent calendar like the one in this book- if not for me, for my kids. --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.sg/products/8656549-the-christmas-mystery](https://www.desertcart.sg/products/8656549-the-christmas-mystery) --- *Product available on Desertcart Singapore* *Store origin: SG* *Last updated: 2026-05-10*
