This is unobjectionable but not particularly thrilling. I like the idea of an advent calendar book and I think it would work well in that format. Kids will enjoy it.

Thank you to NetGalley and Kids Can Press for the opportunity to read this book and provide my honest review.

In a world very close to current times, Santa is in trouble and has to rely on the help of two elves to make sure Christmas happens.

This book is tongue-in-cheek, exciting to read, and easily digest-able in its graphic novel format.

Designed so as to have a chapter per day leading up to Christmas like an Advent calendar, 8 Tiny Reindeer is fun romp that will entertain children and adults alike.

The sass of the reindeer is hilarious, and I loved how the different characters each had the room to be developed, making the story all the better.

I love the concept of a graphic novel "advent" calendar Christmas book! Early on in the book, I thought maybe it would be something that might encourage my young nephew to read ... but I'm afraid he is a bit too young for parts of the book.

I liked most of the book, but there were a couple "days" in the advent book that I thought were a little weird.

Santa had been relying on outsourced delivery of Christmas gifts; but now needs to save Christmas and unify his team of reindeer that had been disbanded once drones started delivering Christmas packages.

This graphic novel was very creative.

I don't usually read graphic novels, but I did enjoy this one.

Thank you to NetGalley (for yet once again, introducing me to a "new to me author"). And thank you for the opportunity to provide an honest review in exchange for the opportunity to read the advance read copy of 8 Tiny Reindeer. Also thank you to author Robert Tinkler and illustrator Danesh Mohiuddin. Thank you to Kids Can Press for approving my NetGalley ARC request.

Thank you so much to Kids can Press and Netgalley for the ebook to read and review.

An advent calendar comic book format telling a story where Christmas isn’t the same any more since Quickbuck started using his technology for everything. Santa’s elves and reindeer are gone and Quickbuck wants the whole holiday. Santa and his two remaining elves have to figure out how to get the factory working again, and search for the 8 tiny reindeer and bring them back.

A very interesting take on the holiday due to this world I can totally see the idea behind it with technology already taking over massively. I liked that though Santa thought it was the right idea he eventually figured out that it wasn’t and that it’s supposed to be magical and that it is his job to provide that happiness.

Quckbucks was a power hungry mad man a typical business tycoon who wanted to destroy and rule over everything and who is typically a bully to his employees and especially family employees. I liked that his nephew eventually turned to Rudolph for help and they started to work together. I thought it was really clever and interesting having him as a villain type for Santa so he had something to fight against and to fight for what mattered to him most.

This is a very unique story, with a unique comic book concept, done in a calendar style where you read a chapter a day. It was nice seeing a story like this told in a comic book. It was a unique and fun read and I think it will be a popular Christmas read for many. The story is very different to most others and is funnier and modern, all the characters were interesting and I think it’s a cleverly made story and comic.

This is my new favorite Christmas book! It is absolutely packed with Christmas spirit and hijinks. I smiled throughout the whole thing. Quintessentially Christmas. Modern, but timeless. Fun, quirky and perfect for the whole family.

And I loved the advent calendar format. Starting on Dec 1st you read a chapter a day, up through Christmas. However, I was so enamored that I blew through the whole thing in a single sitting. But whether you read it over the course of the month, or in a single sitting, this book will fill you with Christmas spirit. A perfect holiday gift for friends, family, and yourself!
