Some things were always meant to be.
Chris has had the same dream since he was small. A log cabin half-buried in snow. A figure sitting alone in the dark, waiting. And a tree, deep in a forest, that feels less like a tree and more like a door. He has never known where the dream came from - or where he came from. He was found as a baby in Hainault Forest with nothing but a silver chain on his wrist and a single word stamped into it: Junior. Eleven days before Christmas, the dream stops being a dream. Chris and his best friend Mary go into the forest looking for the tree. They find other children in the clearing - pulled there by the same call, each of them carrying a gift they can't explain. Beyond the tree lies the North Land, and something has gone badly wrong there. The Grotto is lit cold blue. The elves work in silent rows like people asleep. And out in the snow, something is hunting. Somebody in that cabin needs help. Chris doesn't yet know it's his father. A CHRISTMAS STORY FOR CHILDREN WHO HAVE OUTGROWN PICTURE BOOKS I Believe in Christmas is a full-length festive fantasy adventure for readers aged 9 to 12 - a proper novel, not a short story collection, with a real journey, a real villain and an ending that earns itself. Perfect for young readers who loved A Boy Called Christmas and are ready for something with a little more snow underfoot. - A magical Christmas adventure that starts on an ordinary East London street and ends somewhere very far north- Thirteen children, each with a gift - and a friendship group worth following
- A warm, honest story about adoption, and the fact that finding one family never means losing another
- Real stakes, handled with care - the group loses one of their own. It happens off the page, without violence or detail, and the story gives the children room to grieve properly rather than moving straight on. No gore, no bad language, and an ending that heals
- Written to be read aloud - a chapter a night through December works beautifully A Christmas gift book children actually finish, and ask to read again next year.
