A review by serendipity_viv
Lily and the Christmas Wish by Keris Stainton
5.0
Originally published on www.serendipityreviews.co.uk
I picked this book up just to read the first chapter, to get a feel of what it was all about. Two hours later, I realised I'd read the whole book without stopping! I absolutely LOVED IT!
Keris Stainton immerses you into the gorgeous little town of Pinewood, which is something like the Christmassy towns you see on the Christmas channel. It's seriously heartwarming and you soon discover the Christmas spirit has embraced you. I seriously want to visit shops such as Our Daily Bread and Kate's Kakes.
Lily and James are adorable, but I do think the star of the book has to be Bug the Pug. I won't let out any secrets, but readers, you are going to love him!
All the characters are adorable yet current, which will help to make this a modern day classic.
This book could easily be made into a film. And it has the potential for merchandise with it. I want a Bug Pug soft toy! Seriously, someone pass this book onto Debbie Isitt, the director of the Nativity films, because I'm positive she will love it.
Everyone Christmas I normally recommend a book to go into a child's Christmas stocking, this will be the book I'm recommending this year.
I really hope we get to revisit Pinewood and it's inhabitants again one day as I'm sure that town has more magic hidden within it.
