About the story
It’s Christmas Eve, and Julia is finally old enough to join her father, Santa Claus, and her six siblings on the annual sleigh ride. For years she has watched the others set off into the night, while she was told she was too little to help. But this year she is ready. Yet just as the sleigh is about to leave, Julia is delayed, and left behind.

Read more about the story.
Alone in the snow-covered farmyard, Julia feels forgotten and far too small to matter. Until she meets Ola, a mysterious boy who takes her to the land of the North on a flying snowflake carpet. There she discovers glittering ice cities, strange and wonderful snow families, and the majestic Queen of the Northern Lights. The Queen entrusts Julia with a glowing leather bag, filled with Santa’s forgotten childhood dreams, dreams he lost in the busyness of grown-up life.
Now it is up to Julia to bring the bag back and remind her father of who he once was. With courage and a touch of magic, she discovers that even the smallest child can hold the key to saving Christmas.
Julia and the Northern Lights is more than a Christmas story. It is a story about family bonds, resilience and the invisible magic of imagination, and a reminder to readers of all ages that when we listen to our dreams, there is always enough magic for everyone.
Julia and the Northern Lights is also available as an ebook, and in Norwegian as a printed book and ebook.
