"Rogue runaway gingerbread biscuits, a snow-creating little sister, and a step-dad who harbours a rather special secret — this brims with Christmas chaos and festive fun."
Told across 25 fun-filled chapters, and packed with high-stakes holiday season hijinks, LD Lapinski’s Biggest Christmas Secret Ever is a warm-hearted wonder of festive fiction.
Harper and Will’s lovely white-bearded stepdad Nick leads something of a double life — one that can never be revealed, for he’s none other than the actual Father Christmas. If anyone were to find out his secret, “That could mean the end of Christmas as we know it”, Nick fears.
So, when baby sister Yula starts exhibiting signs that she might be the successor to Nick’s Santa Claus crown, they have something of a problem on their hands. How on earth are the family supposed to conceal the fact that Yula can create indoor snowflakes, for example?
Amidst the mayhem of said snow — and some rather naughty runaway gingerbread people — the family are visited by a Sergeant from the North Pole’s Elf and Safety Department, who issues a “three strikes and you’re out” warning. The pressure is on...
Funny and thrilling, this fiasco-filled festive story also shares heart-warming messages about spreading Christmas cheer and magic. As such, it’s a great pre-Christmas gift that will keep on giving through the season of giving.

A heart-warming and hilarious Christmas countdown advent story told in 25 chapters.
