From Sibéal Pounder, bestselling author of the Witch Wars and Bad Mermaids series, this tale of friendship and mince-pie feasts is the perfect book to curl up with this winter. Funny, feminist and with a huge heart, it's a gloriously Christmassy adventure that will delight even the biggest Grinch.

George and his father are about to spend their third Christmas without George's mother. Since she died, Hugo Bishop has thrown himself into his work and has no time for George - and he definitely has no time for Christmas. It feels like they're living life in black and white. Then, George stumbles across Marley's Curiosity Shop. There he finds a mysterious snow globe, which - though George can't quite understand how - appears to show a scene from George's past. A Christmas in which he and his family were together and happy.

Story4.5 out of 5 stars 31
All Tog wants to do is work in Santa's workshop, and one wonderful day, the letter from Santa arrives: Tog has been selected as an apprentice elf! Making toys is a lot more technical and a lot less fun than Tog had imagined, and even though his new friend Holly tries to help him, he's quickly relegated to cleaning out the reindeer stables. But someone has been stealing the presents from the workshop, and a case of mistaken identity finds Tog accused of being the culprit!

Ridiculous
If you love, ridiculous, he will love the story. The voice acting on this audio is fantastic. The story itself has too many plot holes, and it just does not make sense. For example, at one point in the story, they have to walk the last mile back to the north pole. But one of them is out cold. How do they do that when they are in a coma? Also, the girl is mistaken for Santa’s wife, but she’s a child? How old are they? It’s just not clear.
