Das Notizbuch vom Weihnachtsmann ist futsch – und damit sämtliche Infor-mationen über Weihnachten in aller Welt. Eine Katastrophe, so kurz vor Weihnachten! Nun hilft nur noch eins: Helge Rentier wird auf Weltreise ge-schickt, um die Weihnachtsbräuche vor Ort auszukundschaften und direkt an die Weihnachtsmannzentrale zu berichten. Aber Helge nimmt es mit der Wahrheit nicht immer ganz genau: Stimmt es wirklich, dass es in Island drei-zehn Weihnachtsmänner gibt? Dass in Ägypten am Heiligen Abend Sandge-bäck gereicht wird? Und dass man in Mexiko Krippenfiguren aus Radieschen schnitzt?Ein klingender Adventskalender der Extraklasse: zum Mitraten für die ganze Familie!
***The sparkling new Christmas novel from the Sunday Times bestselling author Heidi Swain!***
Wynter's Trees is the home of Christmas. For the people of Wynmouth it's where they get their family Christmas tree, and where Christmas truly comes to life.
But for Liza Wynter, it's a millstone around her neck. It was her father's pride and joy but now he's gone, she can't have anything to do with it. Until her father's business partner decides to retire and she must go back to handle the transition to his son Ned.
When Liza arrives, she discovers a much-loved business that's flourishing under Ned's stewardship. And she's happy to stay and help for the Christmas season, but then she has other plans. But will the place where she grew up make her change her mind? And can it weave its Christmas cheer around her heart…?
Underneath the Christmas Tree is the perfect festive read, promising snowfall, warm fires and breath-taking seasonal romance. Perfect for fans of Milly Johnson, Carole Matthews and Cathy Bramley.

A birthday party sets the scene in this sweet and relatable story for anyone who's ever been the odd girl out.
It's Ginger's birthday, and she has to invite all the girls in her class to her party, including Lyla Browning. Lyla isn't like the other girls: she smells like old leaves, doesn't talk much, and once brought a tarantula to school for show-and-tell. On the day of the party, Lyla is much earlier than everyone else. But even after the others arrive, Ginger's party doesn't go quite the way she'd hoped: some of the girls change the rules to the games, and no one likes her silver and gold birthday cake -- except Lyla. By the time Lyla gives Ginger her present -- a tiny homemade nest with two delicious malted-milk eggs -- Ginger begins to wonder: is being different really such a bad thing?
Mann's pencil, gouache and digital collage illustrations keep the focus on the girls, their bright clothes and accessories standing out against the white background. ... Readers may not look at their classmates the same again.--Kirkus Reviews; Penciled figures keep the facial expressions simple, while the gouache illustrations soften digital collage elements like the playground pavement, the tablecloth, and patterned couch, complementing the expected but sweet and satisfying story.--School Library Journal

Staunend betrachtet er das Bild, das über dem Zeitungsartikel abgebildet ist. Eine Familie sitzt fröhlich lachend um einen hübsch gedeckten Tisch herum.

Auf einem Tischchen liegt ein großes Buch mit der Aufschrift 'Die Weihnachtsgeschichte'. Trillo ist begeistert.

Ollie and Celia think they know what the life of an elf is supposed to be like: Make toys. Help Santa. Make more toys. Help Santa. Try out a new ice-cream flavor.
Help Santa. But then Santa rocks the North Pole with a surprise announcement! He's decided this is going to be his last year in the Big Red Suit, and, instead of letting his oldest son-the unfortunately named Klaus Claus-take over, he's opening up the job to any Claus or elf who wants to apply.
The Santa Trials have begun! Ollie and Celia enter the contest, having no idea whatsoever that they'll soon have to squeeze through impossible chimneys, race runaway sleighs, sweet-talk a squad of rowdy reindeer, and consume cruel amounts of cookies and milk. It's both an adventure and a survival test, far beyond what any Claus or elf has been asked to do before. But whoever rises to the top will get a reward even bigger than Christmas...
