Kiwi's Christmas Tail Vickie Johnstone

Publisher Marketing: Book six in the Kiwi Series, for kids aged 9 up, teens and adults. Do you believe in magic and things you cannot see? Fur, magic, thrills and comedy moments fill this fantasy adventure set over Christmas, involving a star, a fairy, a witch, a toad, some catizens and Santa himself. Amy, James and their magical cat, Kiwi, who can communicate with them, find a star. But this is not an ordinary star. He's living and breathing, and his name is Sharissimo. A year earlier, the star and a fairy called Lilabel were captured by an evil witch with a big wart on her nose. While Sharissimo managed to escape, Lilabel couldn't. Can Amy, James and Kiwi find the fairy before Christmas Eve and rescue her from the clutches of the witch? The witch herself is in for a shock when she finds herself in the furry land of Cat City. Set in the human world, Cat City and Santa's Grotto. This story can be read without having read the previous books in the series, because there are no plot strands. "Such a wonderfully vivid imagination! Great Work!" - Cynthia J Smith "Kiwi's Christmas Tail is a delightful book filled with magical adventures, and great teachable moments to entertain and delight your children. Great reading for the entire family. Again, the Kiwi series of adventures delivers magic and love. Very enjoyable." - Ed Drury "Vickie Johnstone has created a series that I really love. All of the Kiwi books are delightful to read. I purchased Kiwi's Christmas Tail as soon as it was released expecting another great story and I was not disappointed. Kids can learn through the experiences of the characters while enjoying a great story. My Christmas was made complete by reading this whimsical tale. It's a great story that kids from 9 to 99 will enjoy." - Lady Wings Contributor Bio:  Johnstone, Vickie Hi, I live in London and have a thing about fluffy cats.
