Summary
A special Chronicles of St Mary's Christmas short story that is sure to entertain. If you love Jasper Fforde or Ben Aaronovitch, you won't be able to resist Jodi Taylor.
It's Christmas at St Mary's and time for the traditional illicit jump. Except this one is perfectly legal. It's Major Guthrie's last jump. To the Battle of Bannockburn, no less.
An important moment in history for two nations - one that warrants everyone's full attention. But Max soon finds herself grappling with a near-lethal game of pooh sticks, another avian incursion and two turbulent teenagers intent on piloting their own illegal jump. And that's all before they even get near 14th-century Scotland.
For this is St Mary's, and nothing is ever simple.

Superb short story
What a super a short story, a fitting tale for the departure of one of the original main characters and an introduction to some new ones I hope we will hear more from, perfect narration as always

The family is home for Christmas
Yet another wonderful story by Jodi Taylor. The St Mary’s gang, the one family that is warmly welcomed into the household every Christmas Day!
A fun trip back to Bannockburn, Ian Guthrie’s last jump and more of the tantalising and not yet revealed secret of Markham’s past. Jodi Taylor is the ultimate tease!

Brilliant narration
Another very enjoyable book in the Chronicles of St Mary’s series. I like the way the author introduces new characters and moves the lives of existing characters on. Zara Ramm’s narration is brilliant. She seamlessly swaps voices for each character.

A Christmas essential!
No Christmas would be complete without a St Mary’s Christmas short story and this one definitely doesn’t disappoints! Safe in the hands of the ‘dream team’ (Jodi Taylor and Zara Ramm) it leaves one with the perfect post Christmas feeling of possible delights to come!

Because we are St Mary's!
This is one of the best short stories from St Mary's. It flows beautifully from the last book and sets up the next one by introducing two characters that I want to know more about- Lady Amelia and Penny Royale. It has made an Easter afternoon in lockdown a lot more bearable!
