Blurb

Clara Claus Saves Christmas is an exciting festive adventure filled with fun and Christmas spirit.

Brimming with friendship, family, heart, and trust, as well as beautiful illustrations, Clara Claus is the perfect book to bring home this Christmas. First, the reindeer got sick. Then Santa got sick. Now it’s up to Clara Claus and her slightly annoying brother Nick to save Christmas.

But with toys to make, elves to manage, lists to sort, and flying reindeer to train, can they summon enough Christmas spirit to deliver the perfect Christmas?

Review

Clara Claus lives in the North Pole along with her brother Nick and her Mum and Dad who is none other than Father Christmas and Mary Christmas.

When the reindeer start getting sick just two weeks before Christmas and then Father Christmas and Mary both fall ill too and are on immediate bed rest until Christmas it is down to Clara and Nick to save Christmas.
This was a lovely story and it was touch and go, lots of things seemed to go wrong at the same time.
I liked the whole story of Christmas spirit, Hope and the Joy-o-Meter and that is what makes the North Pole do its thing.
At the beginning of the book is a list of the reindeer and their traits, this was fantastic as there were a few new reindeer added to the list, and it explains why.
My son and I thoroughly enjoyed reading it!

This book will give every child an exciting feel for Christmas and it might even make them try harder to get on the Good List which is always a good thing.

This would make a perfect Christmas Eve box gift or even a Christmas gift, it is funny, sometimes worrying but joyful too. The illustrations by Louise Forshaw were absolutely brilliant.

Author Bio

Bonnie’s all-time favourite season is Christmas so it came as no surprise that she has written a story about it. She is her happiest in a land of imagination and the more Christmas magic and festive fun, the better. Having worked as an actress for nearly a decade Bonnie has performed in many a Christmas show. She has portrayed a rather pink and sparkly fairy bow-belles and has even dressed as a Christmas present (don’t ask). Bonnie lives in Hampshire with her husband and daughter. When she’s not writing, or hunting down Christmas decorations, Bonnie works as a learning support assistant at an infant school which is the perfect age to test her stories out on. Her debut authored picture book Catch that Cough was published by Tiny Tree books in September 2019 and is currently in the final for the People’s Book Prize Children’s 2019/2020. Clara Claus Saves Christmas will be Bonnie’s debut Junior Fiction.
