A Christmas Wish by Amanda Prowse

I really enjoyed reading this Christmas story in the middle of the summer, but then I love Amanda Prowse’s writing. Yes, it was a little predictable, but I don’t think this took anything away from it’s charm and lovely characterisations.

Poppy’s husband Martin is away fighting in Afghanistan, and Poppy is finding things very hard. It doesn’t help that her daughter, Peg’s, teacher is so vile at parent’s evening. As Poppy and the 2 children prepare to make their way to their friend Claudia’s house for Christmas, Peg makes a special wish.
