What to expect
Join a fantastic, futuristic and chaos-filled adventure where Christmas has snowballed and is celebrated every day! A perfect paperback gift for fans of Sibéal Pounder’s Tinsel and Christmas-obsessed children everywhere.
In the year 4024, Christmas is everywhere. Santa Claus rules the world and the Big Day happens EVERY DAY! There are holographic elves to grant your wishes, travel is by flying sleigh, and all food is served as candy canes, in any flavour you can imagine!
Not everyone gets to celebrate 24/7 though. Gryla Garland is a witch banished to the Mince Pie Isles, where Christmas comes but once a year. All she’s ever wished for is to join the festive world.
But when Santa’s daughter, Merrilee Claus, comes crashing into her life, Gryla realises Christmas every day might not be such a good thing after all. With the real magic of Christmas long forgotten, it’s up to Gryla, Merrilee and a lot of sprouts, to bring the magic back …
