The Christmas Contest
A Christmas Contest – win the chance to be Santa's helper!
Win the chance to be Santa's helper and open a chapter a day in the ultimate countdown to Christmas! A full colour illustrated story full of Christmas magic in a unique and internationally bestselling format: feel the excitement of the big day as you tear open a new chapter each night with the family.
Santa Claus has a problem. There are too many children on the nice list this year, and he’s worried he won’t be able to deliver all the presents by himself! The only solution is to recruit an apprentice for the first time in his long career, and he needs a competition to do it! Soon, the North Pole is buzzing with excitement as contestants come forward to show they’ve got the Christmas spirit and know-how to help jolly old Santa himself. As Christmas Eve draws closer and Santa Claus tasks the hopefuls with more and more creative tests, who will come out on top?
A fun, magical story with twenty-four chapters enclosed in a perforated envelope, this is the perfect gift to give as the family counts down to Christmas.

About the Author
Maxime Gillio has twenty-five books to his credit in genres from thriller to social subjects to cozy children’s books. He is also an organizer of literary events and the founder of Les Halliennalles book festival. Benedetta Capriotti was born in Italy, in a seaside town of the central region Marche. Since she was a child, she has had a great passion for drawing and art; in high school, she would draw in Greek and Latin books, so she chose to attend a professional school of fashion and technical drawing. Afterwards, she studied illustration at the International School of Comics in Rome. In addition to drawing, she likes reading, traveling, and animals, and she would like to live in a quiet house in the English countryside.
