Nixie: Wonky Winter Wonderland by Cas Lester
Snow days are for sledging, skating and snowball battles and no-one is safe from Nixie's expertly aimed snowballs or her mischievous wonky wand. But one fairy is missing out on all of the fun, where is Fidget the butterfly fairy? It's up to Nixie to find her and prove that she's not such a bad, bad fairy but a rather ingenious one!
I absolutely love Nixie, a funny little fairy with attitudeThis is a stylishly told, delightful story for girls just starting to tackle chapter books - or a brilliant bedtime story to be read aloud. * Jacqueline Wilson *

Ali discovered that she didn't much like fashion but really loved London and has lived there ever since.

While taking an MA in illustration at Kingston University Ali was commissioned to illustrate her first picture book, Where is Fred? by Edward Hardy. She has since illustrated stories for publishers including Oxford University Press, Campbell Books, Egmont, Nosy Crow, Orchard Books, HarperCollins and Stripes.
