A Problem for Mother Christmas
Beth's postman father has a special top secret mission: to deliver all Santa's mail to him in Lapland. Beth and her dog accompany him and are flown by helicopter (piloted by a woman) to the far north but, having sabotaged the plans of one would-be spy, they find themselves faced with further problems not the least of which is the disappearance of Father Christmas himself. I found the story unconvincing and the characters had no real depth to them. I fear that junior readers who bring to this book the same eager anticipation as I did will very likely be disappointed.
