Sprouts

Enter the future where it’s Christmas day – every day. Except, that is, on the Mince Pie Isles where a group of rebel witches live in secret, illegally celebrating just once a year and practising their sprout-based magic passed down through an old spell book from Guardian to Guardian. Gryla Garland is a young witch who thinks it might be quite nice to celebrate Christmas every day, just like everyone else. But when the hapless and accident-prone young witch is unexpectedly chosen as the next Guardian of the spell book, she discovers that 24/7 Christmas – governed by a tyrannical Santa – isn’t all it’s cracked up to be. Now she just has to think of a way to change it back.

Description

In the year 4024, Christmas is everywhere. Santa Claus rules the world and the Big Day happens EVERY DAY! There are holographic elves to grant your wishes, travel is by flying sleigh, and all food is served as candy canes, in any flavour you can imagine! Not everyone gets to celebrate 24/7 though. Gryla Garland is a witch banished to the Mince Pie Isles, where Christmas comes but once a year. All she’s ever wished for is to join the festive world. But when Santa’s daughter, Merrilee Claus, comes crashing into her life, Gryla realises Christmas every day might not be such a good thing after all. With the real magic of Christmas long forgotten, it’s up to Gryla, Merrilee and a lot of sprouts, to bring the magic back ?***’I absolutely ADORED it!

It just has to be made into a movie!’ Emma Carroll on TINSEL‘Very sparkly storytelling and a lovely portrayal of friendship’ Hilary McKay on TINSELTinsel is Christmas spirit wrapped in a fun, feminist parcel’ Lesley Parr on TINSEL
