A delightful, festive story in this funny, illustrated Australian series for newly independent readers.

It’s Christmastime, but Flick and Birdie are missing their Granny Aggie. To cheer them up, Mum and Dad invite the neighbours over to decorate gingerbread houses. All is going well until Mrs Mortlake brings up Christmas wishes, giving baby Birdie all the wrong ideas.

How can Flick spread the joy of Christmas when a gingerbread person is biting the guests?

Allison Rushby made a wish when she was six years old. She wished to be a ballerina with pierced ears. Not long after this, she wrote her very first book (not about a ballerina) and decided to be an author with pierced ears instead. She has written over twenty books for adults and children, including the Wish Sisters series, and is an admin of the popular parent Facebook group ‘Your Kid’s Next Read’ with Megan Daley and Allison Tait. She lives in Brisbane with her family and her two not very useful assistants, Harry the Bordoodle and Titus the Sphynx. To learn more about Allison, visit www.allisonrushby.com.
