From L. D. Lapinski, the author of The Strangeworlds Travel Agency, comes a magical Christmas story about a girl who is convinced her new step-dad is actually Father Christmas. Written in twenty-five chapters (one to read each day in the lead up to Christmas and a bonus one for Christmas day) this is a heart-warming story to enjoy as a family.
From L. D. Lapinski, author of The Strangeworlds Travel Agency, comes a heartwarming and hilarious story about a girl who is convinced her new stepdad is actually Father Christmas. Structured like an advent calendar, this is the perfect story to read one day at a time in the lead up to Christmas (with an extra special chapter for Christmas day!).
It's 25 days until Christmas . . .
And 10-year-old Harper gets a surprise when Mum announces she's bringing her new boyfriend Nick home for the holidays!
Nick seems nice enough. But why do strange Christmassy things happen whenever he's around? Like snow falling only in the family's garden? Or a reindeer suddenly appearing on the roof?!
Harper's convinced that Nick must be Father Christmas! And if her mum and older brother won't believe her, she'll just have to find a way to prove it herself . . .
A Festive Countdown Story in 25 Chapters

L.D. Lapinski
L. D. Lapinski lives just outside Sherwood Forest with their family, a lot of books, and a cat called Hector. They are the author of The Strangeworlds Travel Agency trilogy, the standalone novel Jamie, and Stepfather Christmas.
When they aren't writing, L. D. can be found cosplaying, drinking a lot of cherry cola, and taking care of a forest of succulent plants. L. D. first wrote a book aged seven; it was made of lined paper and Sellotape, and it was about a frog who owned an aeroplane. When L. D. grows up, they want to be a free-range guinea pig farmer.
