‘Lydia Marmalade’s Christmas Adventure is magical festive fun with the perfect balance of heart and humour’ Anna James

In the weeks before Christmas, Lydia Marmalade arrives in London – a city she’d never dreamt of visiting – with an important mission: to rescue a missing ice sprite.

Without much say in how to spend her time, Lydia has to attend one society party after another, but her attention is focused elsewhere.

Determined to make the most out of her London trip, she embarks on an unforgettable adventure with her trusty sausage dog, a frosty ice queen and a newfound friend. Sometimes you just need magic to reveal your own power . . .

A Christmas story full of humour and heart to read with all the family with gorgeous illustrations. Perfect for fans of A Boy Called Christmas and The Christmasaurus.
