Waterstones Says

From the playful pen of the author of Witch Wars and Bad Mermaids comes a hilarious spin on the traditional Christmas story, starring Blanche Claus, her best friend Rinki and a whole heap of mince pies.

What if somewhere along the way we've all got the Santa story a bit wrong...?

Join Blanche Claus and her best friend Rinki for a funny festive sleigh ride you'll never forget!

From Sibeal 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.
