Description

Funny, festive middle grade about the world's most Christmassy family from the founder of Authorfy, perfect for 8+ readers and fans of Matt Haig, Men Miller, Sibeal Pounder's 'Tinsel' and the Nativity! films. In the story, nine-year-old Holly Carroll and her family celebrate Christmas every day with their house decked out in fairy lights and Christmas trees, a carol-singing toilet, and a monkey who thinks he's a reindeer. Homeschooled Holly tries to spread cheer wherever she goes but faces challenges when she attends a new school with her Christmas-themed gear during a heatwave in September. When the neighbors attempt to remove Holly's family from the street and Holly learns about children who may not get a Christmas at all, her festive world begins to crumble. Holly must find a way to preserve her Christmas spirit and learn the true meaning of the holiday. 'THE CHRISTMAS CARROLLS' is a heartwarming, hilarious and inclusive tale about the power of spreading cheer, the magic of friendship and what really matters at this most wonderful time of year.
