JOURNEY TO THE EDGE OF MAGIC

Amelia Wishart was the first child ever to receive a Christmas present. It was her Christmas spirit that gave Santa the extra boost of magic he needed to make his first trip around the world.

But when her mother falls ill, Amelia is sent to the workhouse to toil under cruel Mr Creeper. Without a whiff of kindness to keep her going, her spirit begins to drain away.

Meanwhile, up at the North Pole, magic levels dip dangerously low as Christmas approaches, and Santa knows that something is gravely wrong. If he’s going to save Christmas, he might just need some help . . .
