ABOUT THE BOOK Celebrate the magic of Christmas with the story of Jingle, the littlest reindeer who sets out to earn her place on Santa’s team, and shows what’s possible even when the odds (and antlers) are against you. In the magical North Pole, little Jingle has one big dream: to earn her magic bells and fly with Santa’s team. But in a world full of strong and mighty reindeer, Jingle stands out for being... well, small. When the annual Reindeer Games put her to the test, Jingle will need more than speed and strength to succeed—she’ll need heart, hope, and a whole lot of ingenuity. With her loyal pup Holly Jolly by her side, Jingle tackles tinsel-filled tasks and an avalanche of snowy challenges on her way to unwrapping the greatest gift of all: the true meaning of Christmas cheer.
