Description

It's Christmas Eve, and Snap the sugar glider is practising his moves. He wants to be the greatest flyer in the rainforest, but the other animals just laugh at him. When Santa makes an emergency landing, all the animals get a chance to audition to fill in for Comet, who is injured. Is this Snap's chance to shine? A heart-warming story full of Christmas magic, from the team that brought you the CBCA shortlisted book Bat Vs Poss.
