The perfect gift for any child this Christmas. From Alex T. Smith, bestselling author of festive favourites How Winston Delivered Christmas, How Winston Came Home for Christmas and The Grumpus, comes a gorgeous retelling of children's Christmas classic The Nutcracker - a Christmas Story in twenty-four-and-a-half chapters.
The Mouse King is up to some very sneaky shenanigans.
The night before Christmas, he steals the key to the Kingdom of Sweets and sets out to cause as much festive mayhem as he can!
Clara and Fritz Strudel, and their new friend the Nutcracker, are the only ones who can stop him. But when a magical curse is put on Fritz, it's a race against time to make it to the Kingdom of Sweets and find the Sugar Plum Fairy – the only one who can break the spell!
Can the adventurers stop the Mouse King's naughty plan and save Fritz, before it's too late?
With irresistible colour illustrations, a festively foiled cover and a chapter to enjoy each day in December, The Nutcracker And the Mouse King's Christmas Shenanigans is a gorgeous hardback, perfect for reading together.
Alex T. Smith is the creator of the bestselling Claude fiction series for early readers, as well as the much-loved How Winston Delivered Christmas, for which an animated film is currently in development. His other Christmas books include the sequel How Winston Came Home for Christmas, The Grumpus, The Nutcracker and the witty retelling of The Twelve Days of Christmas, or Grandma is Overly Generous, which are set to become future Christmas classics.
Alex lives in the UK, under the watchful eye of his small canine companions and a flock of unruly chickens.
