"I absolutely ADORED it! A really funny, clever, brilliant play on all the Christmas tropes. It just has to be made into a movie!" – Emma Carroll

What if somewhere along the way we've all got the Santa story a bit wrong...? Join Blanche Claus as she aims to deliver a Christmas gift to every child on Earth. With help from her best friend Rinki and an aspiring chef called Santa, it's a funny festive sleigh ride you'll never forget!

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.

The importance of women and the greater importance of the greater good

The audible voice is great. The story is lovely and powerful but ends the story without hope of a second book which is tragic because this book’s so cute

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.
