For a whole year, Amelia scrubs the floors and eats watery gruel, without a whiff of kindness to keep her going. It\u2019s not long before her hope begins to drain away.<\/strong><\/p>\nMeanwhile, up at the North Pole, magic levels dip dangerously low a<\/strong>s Christmas approaches, and Santa knows that something is gravely wrong.
