The Guddyfunk Stone and the Witch Who Tried to Steal Christmas

By J. A. Folkers

Christmas is coming and Mum decides to treat the kids to a magical train ride.

The kids don't know they're magical!

It's going via the North Pole and a visit to Santa's workshop.

Chloe finds a stone left on the toilet cistern and pockets it and goes in search of the lady who was there before her.

All sorts of weird things start happening!

Is it the stone?

Is it a wishing stone?

It's a willy wonky wishing stone if that's the case.

Join the kids, Mum and the aunts and dog on a rollicky read.

Have fun!
