Do you believe in the Christmas miracle? Tony and Sofia wake up on Christmas morning to discover a young girl in their house after unwrapping their cheap Christmas presents with their children. The discovery of the child brings terrible luck, as Tony is charged with kidnapping. The story moves on to a different setting where we meet Holly, a driven and successful lady who lives by specific standards set for herself and has shattered any form of relationship to avoid distractions. Holly rarely has time for anything other than work and does not have a relationship with her workers.

Holly’s life takes a drastic turn when she gets news concerning her DNA being a requirement for an impending deal with Ling Chow, a logistics company which her company intends to buy. After Holly receives word that her DNA match could not be found in the world, she discovers a truth that could change her life forever. What does Holly learn about herself? How does the discovery affect her life and her standards? Logistics: A Christmas Story by Chris Coppel unveils the answers to these questions.

While reading this book, I was genuinely intrigued by the plot. I wanted to untangle the mystery which the author sought to hide. The book's title would suggest a different plot, and I was surprised by the qualities the book held. The book was professionally edited, as I did not find a lot of errors while reading. It was written in a detailed and straightforward manner that would keep a reader engaged.

The use of imagery in the book is superb, as I could picture almost every scene. The author’s use of flashbacks was also commendable as he slowly unveiled the answers to the numerous questions posed in the book. The author’s writing style and his employment of sarcasm would leave a reader yearning to uncover a lot, thereby keeping the reader glued to the book. It took a while before I could understand the connection between Tony, Sofia, and Holly.

The characters employed in the book were relatable, and I could not have imagined a better-suited end for the book. It was a fantasy book that had a mixture of everything. The book encompasses themes such as faith, goodwill and most importantly, love. By reading this book, we also understand the influence of peer groups on children and people at large and how childhood experiences can affect our future.

The book was superb, and despite the book's length, I was not bored at any point. The characters in the book would take you into a world of fantasy and surprise. I could not find any negative aspects in the book because it was well written. I rate the book four out of four stars. I did not rate it lower because it was a fascinating read, and I could not find anything to dislike about this book. I recommend this book to all lovers of fantasy and Christmas stories.

This is a Nonfiction book that would certainly be a nice story to tell children and young ones, but I will not be picking this one. Thanks for the review.

This book took me by surprise. As I began to read I was intrigued by the mystery of a small child sleeping under a Christmas tree when the family woke up to open their presents. I was expecting the main character Holly to be involved in some sort of conspiracy.
But, much to my surprise it was an adventure that involved her birth father, and a surprising twist of how he came about hence how Holly came to be his daughter. Great read entertaining, heartwarming and it left me with a hopefulness.

A Christmas story with a twist, I love the sound of that. I am definitely saving this one for the holidays.
