In the weeks before Christmas, Lydia Marmalade arrives in London – a city she'd never dreamt of visiting – with an important mission: to rescue a missing ice sprite.

Determined to make the most out of her London trip, she embarks on an unforgettable adventure with her trusty sausage dog, a frosty ice queen and a newfound friend. Sometimes you just need magic to reveal your own power . . .
A Christmas story full of humour and heart to read with all the family with gorgeous illustrations. Perfect for fans of A Boy Called Christmas and The Christmasaurus.
