Milly McCarthy and the Christmas Calamity Leona Forde, illustrated by Karen Harte | Gill Books

You better watch out … Milly McCarthy is coming to town! ❄

Now on its fourth instalment, Milly McCarthy is already a runaway success, having taken the Irish children’s bestsellers chart by storm in the eighteen months since the series made its debut. The most recent book, Milly McCarthy and the Sports Day Shambles, hit number one in the children’s fiction chart on release, ahead of US juggernaut Wimpy Kid, and stayed there for four weeks, the only Irish-published title in the children’s top ten.

In Milly McCarthy and the Christmas Calamity, Milly’s class is preparing a Christmas talent show, and Milly is the perfect choice for MC. But when she plans a super special festive surprise, there’s only one ending in sight … and it’s anything but a silent night at Scoil Eoin!
