Summary
Funny, festive middle grade about the world's most Christmassy family from the founder of Authorfy, perfect for age eight and over listeners and fans of Matt Haig, Ben Miller, Sibeal Pounder’s Tinsel and the Nativity! films.
Wish it could be Christmas every day? Well, for nine-year-old Holly Carroll and her family, it is! Living her merriest life in a house with year-round fairy lights and Christmas trees, a carol-singing toilet and a diva donkey who thinks he’s a reindeer, home-schooled Holly tries to spread cheer wherever she goes.
But when she goes to a new school with a singing Santa backpack and first-day Christmas cards (during a heatwave in September!), she realises not everyone shares her enthusiasm for spreading cheer. In fact, when the neighbours try to remove the Carrolls from the street and Holly discovers a group of children who may not get a Christmas at all, her snow globe world begins to crack. Is the world’s most Christmassy girl about to lose her Christmas spirit?
The Christmas Carrolls is a heart-warming, hilarious and inclusive tale about the power of spreading cheer, the magic of friendship and what really matters at this most wonderful time of the year.

Terrible narrator
the narrator is pretty bad. her voice raises at the weirdest of times. it's very off putting. shame as the story is quite sweet.
