The final book in my Christmas trilogy is published today. You can order it here. Here’s the blurb from the back of the book:
It isn’t always easy, growing up as a human in Elfhelm, even if your adoptive parents are the newly married Father Christmas and Mary Christmas.
For one thing, Elf School can be annoying when you have to sing Christmas songs everyday – even in July – and when you fail all your toy-making tests. Also it can get very, very cold.
But when the jealous Easter Bunny and his rabbit army launch an attack to stop Christmas, it’s up to Amelia, her new family and the elves to keep Christmas alive. Before it’s too late . . .
Also, the paperback of The Girl Who Saved Christmas is also out today!
How To Stop Time is up for a Books Are My Bag Readers Awards in the popular fiction category. Please do vote here.
Chris Riddell is illustrating How To Stop Time. He’s done 60 wonderful pictures and the illustrated edition will be out on 7th November. You can pre order here.
How to Stop Time is a Radio 2 Book club choice. You can download a sample of the book on the BBC website.
