What to expect
It's been two years since Harper and Will discovered their mum's boyfriend Nick is Santa Claus - now their family is one bigger thanks to baby Yula Hall who's almost a year old. But baby Yula also seems to have Christmas magic she can't control (cue turning the sandpit into a snow pit, causing mischief at nursery by pulling whichever toy she likes out of any drawer and the house being wrapped up in Christmas paper!)
The Elf and Safety department in Lapland have gotten wind and think the safest option is for Yula to live with them. Can Harper help Nick hide baby Yula's magic, and help the family stay together?

Told in 25 riotous chapters, this would make a perfect bedtime story to count down the days to Christmas.
