Day      of  Advent

6

Enjoy this free short story, an unSPARKed prequel. It is a heart-warming, festive thrill ride from the Carnegie Medal Nominated author of the I AM MARGARET series.

Young hunter Joshua is looking forward to a Christmas of ice-skating and fun—until the plight of a starving mamma allosaur and her chicks upends his plans. Now he and his uncle must embark on a dangerous journey south, carrying deadly passengers. Out in the wilderness, there’s no one to help them, they’re running out of tranquilizers—and a killer storm is gathering.

Meanwhile, Darryl and Harry risk their lives for a holiday guest in the perilous, raptor-infested mountains. Will they survive long enough to enjoy their carol service, let alone the rest of the holiday season?

Author's Christmas Fun Fact

One of Corinna Turner’s favorite Christmas desserts is Christmas pudding – a dense fruity cannonball – which Brits traditionally set fire to in the middle of the dinner table on Christmas day. Once it stops burning, it is chopped up and eaten with rum brandy, cream, and/or ice cream. The desert makes an appearance under the name ‘British pudding’ in her story, A VERY JURASSIC CHRISTMAS.
