Publisher's summary

A sparkling feel-good comedy, which asks the question - how far would you go to get your child the must-have Christmas toy?

It's December 1992, and children are going crazy for the Tracy Island toy - almost as crazy as the parents! Christmas day is fast approaching and Coco Pinchard is desperately trying to track one down for her four-year-old son Rosencrantz.

Throw into the mix a horrible boss, a lazy husband, and the prospect of her in-laws arriving for the festivities, and Coco wishes she could cancel Christmas and sail off to a desert island somewhere - preferably with the gorgeous-yet-unattainable Tom from work.

But retail therapy is at hand! Coco's faithful friends Chris and Marika rally round, and even her mother-in-law Ethel tries to help in her own eccentric way.

From dodgy dealings in a motorway lay-by, to extreme shopping in Hamley's with a Sylvanian Families fanatic, to having a go at the Blue Peter make-your-own Tracy Island, Coco tries everything in the hope that Rosencrantz will open his must-have toy on Christmas morning.

Critic reviews

"Kick off your shoes, grab a mug (or four in Ethel's case) of mulled wine and laugh your festive socks off with this brilliant addition to the Coco Pinchard series!" ( Bookaholic Confessions Blog)

Books are out of order. Read this one LAST

This book should be read after all the others. It’s the last in the series (as of now). Reading it out of order was like reading a bunch of spoilers about the books that are listed after. If you look at all the publication dates, you’ll see this is the most recent. Once you’ve read the others, I do recommend this one. If you like Coco and her antics, you’ll enjoy this one. I actually laughed out loud a couple of times.

Something went wrong. Please try again in a few minutes.
