Operation Nativity
Jenny Pearson
"All I want for Christmas is for everyone to read this book." A.F. Steadman, author of Skandar and the Unicorn Thief
"A gorgeous, heartwarming story full of hope, humour and love. The perfect gift for Christmas." Hannah Gold, author of The Last Bear
When Oscar and Molly rush outside to investigate a crash in the night, they're not expecting to find a dazed Angel Gabriel wandering around their grandparents' back garden. And they're certainly not expecting to find themselves in a race to save Christmas.
But if they don't track down a missing shepherd, wise man, donkey and the actual Mary and Joseph, who've all crash-landed in Chipping Bottom, not only will Christmas cease to exist, but they will too.
Operation Nativity is on.
Featuring fun festive activities to try with your family!
