Summary
A Frogmorton Farm short story from the best-selling author of the Chronicles of St Mary's. Perfect for fans of Sarah Addison Allen, Kristen Ashley and Genevieve Cogman.
It's Christmas time again, and all is not well at Frogmorton Farm.
Jenny and Russell's daughter, Joy, is growing up. Not quickly enough as far as she's concerned but far too quickly according to Russell.
Father and daughter are at odds, and suddenly the outlook is very dark indeed. That is until Thomas comes to the rescue.

Charming
Just right for the festive season.
It’s easy to forget what it feels like to be a teenager.

Just 'ok'.
I've listened to & enjoyed every one of the Frogmorton Farm series so far, but I just felt that this one had no real substance. It almost felt like it was rushed out to fill a gap.
I knew this was a short story &, for what it is, it's ok. It tackles the very real issue of grooming online, so it was very much focused on Joy, the 14-year-old daughter of Jenny & Russell, but lacked any of the warmth, story line or enjoyment that's been in all the other books. I didn’t connect to Joy at all.
I will no doubt listen to future books from the series, but this is not a patch on the others in my humble opinion.

Heart warming
Jodi Taylor does short stories really well and this is another gem. I have enjoyed the Frogmorton Farm stories to date but this visit, which reminds us of the challenges of teenage years and the angst of parenting and makes us wish for a Golden Horse who smells of Ginger biscuits and soothes troubled souls, is the best.
Super narration too.
5 stars all round.

A welcome addition to the Frogmorton series. Russell, Jenny and Co are entertaining characters in a lovely Christmas short story.

Heartwarming
Loved this short story. The reminder of the smell of warm ginger bread. Wish I had a guardian like.

A short and not so sweet but educational
I have always loved Jodi's books and this one shares an important message. It is important to read this book.
