Christmas is the best time to believe in magic. One winter evening, Lydia Marmalade arrives at Lady Partridge’s mansion. She has nothing except her sausage dog, Colin, but she’s not going to let that stop her making this her new home. But Lady Partridge isn’t at all keen to make Lydia part of the family. If Lydia doesn’t behave herself until the end of the winter season, she’ll cast her off entirely. And now her mother’s gone, Lydia doesn’t have anywhere else to live. Helped (and often hindered) by a winter sprite, an angry butler and a hungry Colin, Lydia makes a wish on the most magical night of the year.

Description

When Lydia Marmalade makes a wish on the most magical night of the year, little does she know the chaos she’s about to unleash. Could one simple wish start a . . . wish-tastrophe?

‘Christmas magic – a book only Cariad could write with such beauty and relatability!’ Giovanna Fletcher

‘Full of wit and larger-than-life characters’ The Daily Mail
