The nightmare before Christmas has always been one of my favourite films, so I was so excited to read this twist on the story.
What if Sally was the one who found Christmas town?
The book did not disappoint.
It maintained the same charm as the film and the plot was interesting.

This twisted tale from the original story of a nightmare before Christmas is perfect for any lover of the original story. I love the focus on Sally and this story is so easy to follow. It felt like stepping back into the world and the familiarity was a welcome comfort.

Despite being an Adult I still love all these twisted tales books. This was about Sally was no different. A great story and an interesting look at her. Recommend

I LOVED this version of The Nightmare Before Christmas. I loved how it developed the relationship between Jack & Sally making it make WAY more sense than in the movie!

I found Christmas Towns residents delightful & I LOVED the endings that Sally's new friends get. I also really rather loved Sally's and Jacks end scene. I would adore seeing other holidays explored as a follow up but it is still complete without just like the original movie.

The plot is intriguing & well paced in my opinion. I loved Sally, Jack & Zeros adventure & found it perfect and really cute that Zero was included.

Thank you netgalley and Igloo books for my ARC copy.

As a massive Nightmare before christmas fan, I absolutely adored this twist on the original. It is so well thought out and I binged it in a day. I can't wait to buy a physical copy of this book for myself and my nieces and nephews would adore it too.

I love the twisted tales series. This is a great twist on Nightmare Before Christmas. Sally longs for adventure and instead of Jack finding Christmas Town like in the movie, it is Sally.

I love the building of Sally and Jacks friendship and that Zero is included in the adventure as well. The writing matched the style of the film so it was easy to picture the story.

A real treat for NBC enthusiasts. My only criticism is the wish to have been able to send it to my Kindle for easier reading, but I will undoubtedly be purchasing it upon publication.

Great twists on my favourite film. The digital download was a little tricky to read from, however I really enjoyed it never the less and will definitely be buying it when it comes out to re read!
