Ellie is so excited to spend her Christmas holiday in Lapland, but when she hears a strange whining noise in the middle of the night, she discovers an arctic fox caught in a trap. Can Ellie rescue him in time? Ellie is so excited to spend her Christmas holiday in Lapland - they're going to visit Santa, go on a reindeer sleigh ride and watch the Northern Lights. She's even dreamed about seeing her favourite animal - the arctic fox. Ellie's parents say this is unlikely, though, as hunting has left the species endangered. But when she hears a strange whining noise in the middle of the night, she follows the sounds and discovers a little arctic fox caught in a trap. Can Ellie rescue him in time? A magical wintry tale from best-selling author Holly Webb. For fans of Michael Morpurgo and THE SNOW FOAL, this is the perfect book to snuggle up with and enjoy this winter.
