Publisher Description

Move over, Dickens—America’s favorite storyteller has written a modern Christmas story for the ages, destined to become as treasured as A Christmas Carol.

“A delightful Christmas story to be shared by the whole family” —Kirkus Reviews


At Christmastime, the Sullivans are missing someone dear to them ... until unexpected guests begin to arrive at their empty brownstone in Harlem—and they keep coming. And they stay. For twelve long, hard, topsy-turvy, messy days. But that’s when the Sullivans discover that the moments in life that defy hope, expectation, or even imagination, might be the best gifts of all.

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.

The Twelve Topsy-Turvy, Very Messy Days of Christmas Reviews

3.5
“This reminded me of a Hallmark movie, not a specific one in particular just in general and in the best way possible. It was like I could envision the characters like I was sitting down watching a movie or TV show. This was such a fun, silly, lighthearted read. And the ending made me cry in the most cheesiest way possible. But I absolutely loved it. 🩷”
