Snowball Oranges, Paperback

'I could hardly believe my eyes. A cold mantle of white was rapidly transforming our sunny paradise into a bizarre winterscape of citrus Christmas trees, cotton-wool palms and snowball oranges.' When the Kerr family leave Scotland to grow oranges on the island of Mallorca they are surprised to be greeted by the same freezing weather they have left behind. Then they realise that their new orange farm is a bit of a lemon. Snowball Oranges is hilarious and revealing, set against the stunning beauty of the Mediterranean.
