Reading Planet - The Nutcracker - Level 6: Fiction (Jupiter)

The grandfather clock started striking. One ... two ... three ... four ... five ... six ... seven ... eight ... nine ... ten ... eleven ... 'Twelve!' whispered Marie. Midnight. She had stayed up much longer than she intended. With a gulp she looked up at the clock. The wooden owl blinked at her. One cold December night, Marie's godfather brings her family a very special gift. Marie takes her responsibility to look after the soldier-like wooden nutcracker very seriously ... especially when the seven-headed Mouse King and his terrible army invade and the toys must come to life to defend their home. Could the Nutcracker be real after all?
