About the Books. In The Christmas Carrolls, nine-year-old Holly Carroll lives her most festive life imaginable — her house twinkles with fairy lights all year, her family has a carol-singing toilet, and their diva donkey is convinced he's a reindeer. Home-schooled and endlessly cheerful, Holly's world is turned upside down when she starts at a new school in the middle of a September heatwave, armed with a singing Santa backpack and a stack of first-day Christmas cards. Not everyone shares her enthusiasm, and when nosy neighbours try to have the Carrolls removed from the street — and Holly meets children who might not get a Christmas at all — her snow-globe world begins to crack.. The fun continues in The Christmas Competition, where the Christmas-mad Carrolls are back with a new addition: an ice-skating baby penguin! A rival family moves into town determined to out-sparkle the Carrolls, and Holly must decide whether winning the local paper's Most Festive Family competition really matters — or whether there's more to Christmas than perfect decorations, a personal toboggan run and a mountain of presents.. Together, these two stories offer a warm, witty look at what Christmas really means, wrapped up in laugh-out-loud family antics that young readers will adore.. Two complete, feel-good festive stories
