If you are familiar with the Secret Kingdom books then you'll know what to expect here. As usual all the things that little girls love are shoe-horned into here - friends, fairies, cute talking animals and plenty of magic. My daughter particularly liked Trixie the Pixie's magic ring. And also included this time on top of that are all the things that girls love about Christmas - food, presents, sparkly tinsel...
Unlike the other books this one is split into two. The first half concerns Christmas Eve and the three girls (Jasmine, Summer and Ellie) go to a new place in Secret Kingdom called Christmas Castle that they've never seen before. The reason they've never seen it before is because it is only there at Christmas time, but at Christmas time all the Secret Kingdom residents celebrate there. However Queen Malice seals up the Castle so that they won't be celebrating after all. It is up to the three girls to save the day again.
Then the second half is a story about Christmas day itself. The girls return to Secret Kingdom but disaster has struck because Queen Malice has interfered again and now Santa has gone missing.
Overall I didn't think this book was as good as the other Secret Kingdom book we read, Enchanted Palace, particularly the first of the two stories, but little girls will still love it.
(I got this book through Amazon Vine. It is listed here.)
