Helen Peters’ much-loved Jasmine Green series continues with a heartwarming Christmas adventure. When Jasmine rescues an injured reindeer calf, she must care for her in time for the festive season — because Joy has a very important role to play! With charming black-and-white illustrations by Ellie Snowdon, this gentle, animal-loving story is perfect for newly independent readers and makes a cosy Christmas read.

~Sarah

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?

Helen Peters grew up on an old-fashioned farm in Sussex, surrounded by family, animals and mud. She spent most of her childhood reading stories and putting on plays in a tumbledown shed that she and her friends turned into a theatre. After university, she became an English and Drama teacher. Helen lives in London with her family and a very assertive cat.
