๐Ÿฐ Snowdrop's Footprint Trail

Snowdrop the rabbit discovers a trail of golden footprints in the snow that lead to a secret place where animals gather on Christmas Eve.

A sneak peek

Snowdrop was the whitest rabbit in the meadow. In summer this was a nuisance โ€” she stood out against the green grass like a cotton ball on a football pitch. But in winter, when the snow came, Snowdrop was practically invisible. She loved that. โ€ฆ

The whole story opens on 9 December.

๐Ÿ’ก The Great Lights War

Two rival families on the same street have a Christmas lights competition that escalates wildly โ€” until a power cut changes everything.

A sneak peek
