A Mouse Called Miika

Matt Haig, Canongate, £12.99

Bestselling author Haig has come up with a wonderful tale of mice and magic featuring Miika, a spin-off character from his children’s book A Boy Called Christmas (which hits the big screen in November). Miika the mouse lives at the very top of Finland in a town called Elfhelm. But it can’t be found on any map. It’s a place of elves, pixies and flying reindeer. Beautifully illustrated by Chris Mould, little ones will love the tiny hero of this tale as he learns that what matters is how strong you are inside.
