Tinsel: The Girls Who Invented Christmas


Sibeal Pounder


"I absolutely ADORED it! A really funny, clever, brilliant play on all the Christmas tropes. It just has to be made into a movie!" Emma Carroll

"Very sparkly storytelling and a lovely portrayal of friendship" Hilary McKay

"Joyful and hilarious. I loved every moment of it." Stephanie Burgis


What if somewhere along the way we've all got the Santa story a bit wrong...? Join Blanche Claus and her best friend Rinki for a funny festive sleigh ride you'll never forget!
From Sibéal Pounder, bestselling author of the Witch Wars and Bad Mermaids series, this tale of friendship and mince-pie feasts is the perfect book to curl up with this winter. Funny, feminist and with a huge heart, it's a gloriously Christmassy adventure that will delight even the biggest Grinch.
