Why this book

Every December, families get busier, not closer. The Christmas Flame is built around a simple ritual: one chapter, read together, every night from December 1st through Christmas Eve. Ten quiet minutes for parents, grandparents and children to share a story — instead of a screen.

We call it "Cuddle Up at Christmas." It's a small thing. It matters.

High above the North Pole, the Golden Flame of Hope Mountain has protected Christmas for centuries — until a reluctant young elf named Maya is chosen for a perilous quest to save it. Travelling between the North Pole and the mountain village of Elapai, she's joined by an unforgettable cast of companions, as magic, mystery and an unseen sabotage plot threaten Christmas itself.

Now stocked by Waterstones and Foyles.

A teacher reading a story to a group of children in a classroom, with a chalkboard behind her that says 'A perfect story to share with your class'.
