Fancy Nancy is back! And this time she wants to be fancier than ever!

Nancy is over the moon when her family decide to get a dog. She dreams of having a papillon - a small, delicate, fluffy dog - by her side. This will be the ultimate accessory!

But her family have other ideas. They want a plain dog. How unglamorous!

With Fancy Nancy’s trademark humour and warmth, Nancy discovers that true fanciness does not depend simply on appearance but more on a genuine joie de vivre, which is a very fancy phrase for having lots of fun!

Everyone's favourite sparkly little girl, Fancy Nancy is back in this oh-so-festive new Christmas story from magical duo Jane O'Connor and Robin Preiss Glasser.

Only one word describes how magnificent, joyous, and sparkly Christmas is... Splendiferous!

It's nearly Christmas Day - the most glittery, sparkly and fabulous time of the year and Fancy Nancy can hardly contain her excitement!

There's so much she has to do leading up to the big day! Decorating the house from top to toe, baking Christmas cookies, wrapping all her presents in fancy paper and making Christmas cards for all her family...

Choosing and decorating the Christmas tree is top of Fancy Nancy's list and it has to look just perfect! But in all the excitement disaster strikes and Fancy Nancy's most special decoration gets broken! What will go on the top of the tree now?

Grandpa steps in just in time and with his help and a LOT of glitter, ribbons and tinsel, Fancy Nancy manages to create a very fancy alternative!


Nancy sets up a fabulous fashion boutique to earn money to buy herself a beautiful fuschia fan, and the items she was selling come in handy when her sister's birthday party goes awry.
