Jingle Spells

Jingle Spells is about a little witch surrounded by other little witches who absolutely love Halloween. Everything they do and surround themselves with has a Halloween theme BUT Trixie (the little witch) loves Christmas instead.

She yearns to try and help her friends understand why she loves Christmas so decides to write to Santa himself for help. She is very disappointed when she receives a letter back saying she is still on the naughty list along with all her other witch friends.  She decides the only thing she can do is go and see Santa himself so she sets off on her broomstick along with her trusty cat.  However, when she gets there there is a problem – all Santa’s elves are sick. Will Christmas go ahead?

The book has a very Christmassy feel to it with lots of sweet illustrations. Lots of the pages have full page pictures which gives a very colourful feel. The language is a little bit cheeky – there’s a mention of snot at one point-which will no doubt appeal!  It’s a good little story for Christmas probably more than Halloween itself – the front cover even has an extra bit of glittery on for that Christmassy feel.
