A Reindeer Called Joy
Helen Peters £7.99
Jasmine’s dad is a farmer, and her mum is a large-animal vet, so Jasmine spends a lot of time caring for animals and keeping them out of trouble.
Unfortunately, this often means she gets into hot water herself... When Jasmine meets Joy, an injured reindeer calf, she falls completely in love and offers to look after her on the farm. But Christmas is coming and Joy has an important job to carry out over the festive season.
Can Jasmine nurse Joy back to health in time? Or will Christmas be ruined for everyone?
Advent Gift of Reading Book
Thank you! £7.99
Please buy a book for our Advent Gift of Reading cause. Just £7.99 will allow us to gift a book directly to a child this Christmas.
We are aiming to gift books to children who have very little access to books at home. We work closely with Read With Me, a Gloucestershire based reading charity, to identify which children would benefit most from the gift of a book. Each book will be Christmas wrapped and delivered directly to the child in December.
The ability to read, and the pure joy that books can bring, can make the most enormous difference to young lives. We get very excited about the fact that we can all help to make a difference.
Thank you so much for your generosity.

The Gingerbread Bakery
Laurie Gilmore £9.99
As owner of her beloved Gingerbread Bakery, Annie Andrews should have a love life to match her business; sugary and sweet. But instead, she’s locked in a game of words with the irritatingly upbeat bar owner down the street.
Mac Sullivan has everything he wants, except the girl he dreams of. It’s easier to argue with Annie than get her to talk to him but with Jeanie and Logan’s wedding coming up, they’re about to spend a lot more time together. As the snowflakes fall and with romance in the air, will Annie see that the one she loves to hate might just be her perfect match after all?
The Night Creatures: Firefly
Robert Macfarlane and Luke Adam Hawker £14.99
From two of the UK’s best-known book makers, Robert Macfarlane and Luke Adam Hawker, comes a stunning picture book to ignite wonder in readers everywhere.
In the darkness of December,
Through the winter’s deepest snowing,
When the world is steep in camber,
And all hope is downwards-flowing -
Then’s the time to seek what’s glowing...
Written in lyrical verse, this story follows one light-seeking child who discovers a meadow illuminated by fireflies: “fallen constellations” that dance like stars among the summer grasses, setting fears to flight.
