A Christmas Adventure Quotes

“she’s got wings. Do you have wings too and they just sprout when you leap in the air?’ The reindeer blew down his nose, finding this funny. Mia could feel the muscles in his back and see the strength in his restless legs. ‘I suppose it’s just like a super power?’ Mia said thoughtfully. ‘I think you must have a super power too, Miss Mia,’ said Sweetmeat. ‘You have such a knack of talking to animals and making them respond. Wild reindeer can be unpredictable. Many of my elves are a little scared of them, but you are fearless.’ Mia felt her heart thumping with pride. When Birdy and Pippin and Moonface and Silky (carrying her clock) came into the stables she loved showing them how to be quiet and wait patiently until the reindeer had sized them up and got used to them. Pippin had to be extra patient because the reindeer were very suspicious of bears, even very small ones, and shifted restlessly from hoof to hoof, but Mia managed to calm them all. Pippin was quiet too, and hid behind Mia, worried about all those huge antlers waving above him.”
