Synopsis

From L. D. Lapinski, author of The Strangeworlds Travel Agency, comes another heartwarming and hilarious story about the girl whose Stepdad is actually Father Christmas! Structured like an advent calendar, this is the perfect story to read one day at a time in the lead up to Christmas (with an extra special chapter for Christmas day!).

It's been two years since Harper and Will discovered their mum's boyfriend Nick is Santa Claus - now their family is one bigger thanks to baby Yula Hall who's almost a year old. But baby Yula also seems to have Christmas magic she can't control (cue turning the sandpit into a snow pit, causing mischief at nursery by pulling whichever toy she likes out of any drawer and the house being wrapped up in Christmas paper!)

The Elf and Safety department in Lapland have gotten wind and think the safest option is for Yula to live with them. Can Harper help Nick hide baby Yula's magic, and help the family stay together?

Ahh this was so much fun. I loved the first book (Step Father Christmas) and it was so nice to be back with Harper and Will and also Nick. Nick and Helen have had a little girl since we last saw them, called Yula, and as the story goes on, we find out she has Christmas Magic like her dad. However, s......more

Goodreads review by Anniek on December 25, 2024

Had such a fun time last year using Stepfather Christmas as an advent calendar, so I was happy to be able to repeat that experience with this sequel. It was again a really fun, heartwarming story, and some chapters had really strong cliffhangers, making me eager to continue the next day.......more

Goodreads review by Theediscerning on November 23, 2024

Last time round ([URL not allowed]) it ended up being a charming experience to have the real, echt Santa Claus as your mother's boyfriend called Nick. It was also a charming read. But this is a year on, and a Family Event of capital letters scale has occurred – and it's not th......more

Goodreads review by Nicola on December 26, 2024

Always a highlight of December, I so enjoyed last year reading one chapter a day and this one was well looked forward to! I couldn’t wait to get started on December 1st. I even bought a special signed edition with accompanying gingerbread pin at an independent bookstore so it was even more special! I......more

Goodreads review by Kirsten on February 15, 2025

I thought I had sent this review - but can't seem to find it. I did not realise this was a part 2 but it didn't matter at all! I enjoyed this without having ever read book 1 - so you can too. I was delighted to get a copy from Netgalley to review - then somehow forgot I had it and didn't even read it......more
