Wish it could be Christmas every day Well,for nine-year-old Holly Carroll and her family,it is! Living her merriest life in a house with year-round fairy lights and Christmas trees,a carol-singing toilet and a diva donkey who thinks he's a reindeer,home-schooled Holly tries to spread cheer wherever she goes.
But when she goes to a new school with a singing Santa backpack and first day Christmas cards (during a heatwave in September!),she realises not everyone shares her enthusiasm for spreading cheer. In fact,when the neighbours try to remove the Carrolls from the street and Holly discovers a group of children that may not get a Christmas at all,her snowglobe world begins to crack. Is the world's most Christmassy girl about to lose her Christmas spirit
The Christmas Carrolls is a heartwarming,hilarious and inclusive tale about the power of spreading cheer,the magic of friendship and what really matters at this most wonderful time of the year.
