Description
The seventeenth in a fantastic series of animal stories for younger readers by Waterstones Children's Book Prize-shortlisted author Helen Peters. With beautiful black-and-white illustrations by Ellie Snowdon.
Jasmine's dad is a farmer, and her mum is a large-animal vet, so Jasmine spends a lot of time caring for animals and keeping them out of trouble. Unfortunately, this often means she gets into hot water herself...
When Jasmine meets Joy, an injured reindeer calf, she falls completely in love and offers to look after her on the farm. But Christmas is coming and Joy has an important job to carry out over the festive season. Can Jasmine nurse Joy back to health in time? Or will Christmas be ruined for everyone?
Brilliant storytelling that will make you laugh and cry, this is Dick King-Smith for a new generation. Perfect for readers aged seven and up.
