Christmas is a magical time of year, when absolutely anything incredible can happen—and the adventure Katie has is truly fantastic
When Katie and Jack are woken up late on Christmas Eve by a loud sneeze, little do they realize that they are about to embark on the most amazing evening! Soon they are flying high across London, over snow-dusted landmarks, through the star-scattered sky with the one and only Father Christmas, in his sleigh, with his magical reindeer! But can they help Father Christmas to deliver all his presents and be back in time for Christmas morning? This story is illustrated with James's extraordinarily beautiful artwork and features some of London's best sights, including Big Ben, Buckingham Palace, Covent Garden, Trafalgar Square, and many more landmarks. The foiled cover adds an extra bit of Christmas sparkle to make the book utterly irresistible.
