Tracey Corderoy‘s action-packed festive treat Shifty McGifty and Slippery Sam: Santa’s Stolen Sleigh has featured on the Sunday Times list of 42 best books for children 2021.

In her review, Alex O’Connell writes:

“Shifty and Sam are chefs off to Lapland to cook a feast for Father Christmas and the elves, but when they arrive there is panic—the elves are unwell (have they done PCR tests?) and can’t finish making the toys. Enter Flo Frost, a mysterious stranger who wants to help (or does she?). Fortunately, Shifty and Sam are on call to save Christmas for all. Jaunty seasonal fun with jolly illustrations.”

Santa’s Stolen Sleigh is out now. Grab it here or, better, via your local bookshop or Bookshop.org.
