Lydia Marmalade and the Christmas Wish

The Christmas Wish-tastrophe by Cariad Lloyd is a hilarious and heartwarming holiday story perfect for reading with the whole family. When Lydia Marmalade arrives at Lady Partridge’s mansion one winter evening, she has nothing but her loyal sausage dog, Colin, and the hope of making this her new home. Lady Partridge, however, is far from welcoming—warning Lydia that if she doesn’t behave until the end of the winter season, she will be cast out. With her mother gone, Lydia has nowhere else to turn. Guided (and often misled) by a mischievous winter sprite, a grumpy butler, and a perpetually hungry Colin, Lydia makes a wish on the most magical night of the year—unleashing a chaotic and magical adventure. Packed with humor, charm, and gorgeous illustrations by Ma Pe, this festive tale is perfect for fans of A Boy Called Christmas and The Christmasaurus, showing that sometimes a little magic is all you need to light the way forward.
