In her new book series “The Lucky Ponies”, Marliese Arold expertly plays with the charming question:

Christmas, a mysterious package arrives.
Followed by a peculiar stranger. The
adults do not realise that the stranger is
not, as they assume, a long lost relative
but a bank robber with his stolen treasure.
While various fathers and grandparents
show up one after the other, Mia and her
half- and sort-of-siblings throw themselves
into their very own Christmas adventure.
And, right in time for Christmas Eve,
they reveal the truth about the stranger –
he saved a lost treasure. Holy cow!
