When the post boxes of Bramblebury mysteriously begin to disappear, Sam has just weeks before the biggest day of Santa's year to discover what's happening to all the Christmas mail. And then his sister vanishes too. Will he be able to find his sister and save Christmas, along with Santa's reputation, before the Delivery Book closes for the year?

What he needs is a Christmas miracle.

ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS

Thank you is just two little words which hold immeasurable gratitude and untold amounts of appreciation. They apply to the following people:

Elaine Ouston, my publisher at Morris Publishing Australia, for never ever allowing even one of my zillions of emails to her go unanswered, ever, and for granting this tale the opportunity to find its way into the Christmas stockings of the people I love to write for most of all, children.

Tania, I-can’t-quite-believe-she’s-only-human, McCartney of Kids Book Review, for her unerring belief and commitment to me, my stories, and our shared love of Kids’ Lit.

My precious little family who help me smile, create, forget, and be who I want to be.

My magnificent raft of friends, family, and colleagues, whose various forms of support and feedback have been nothing short of wondrous. Without even one of you, my world would not float as well.

Mum for baking the best boiled Christmas cake year after year – enriching my Christmas memories and fondness for rum flavoured mixed fruit.

To Santa and his myriad of little helpers for ‘keeping it real’ for me.

Most importantly, to everybody who reads this, my sincerest thanks. It’s been awesome sharing Sam’s story with you. I can’t wait to share another.

Dedication

To Martyn and Gypsee -

for always believing
