Leo LOVES Christmas.
And this Christmas needs to be absolutely perfect,because it's the first one without Mum. Only it all keeps going wrong! The fairylights are in a tangle,the tree's wonky and the Christmas biscuits taste AWFUL. Soon Leo decides he's had enough - he makes a heartfelt wish that it would all GO AWAY.
Then Leo wakes up on Christmas morning - and it's gone!! All of Christmas! But Leo isn't going to let it get away that easily. With the help of his best friends,Prisha and Ivan,he sets out on a mission to undo his wish and get Christmas back.
This is Home Alone meets The Christmas Carol in a hilarious adventure with a big dollop of festive magic. Funny,sensitive and emotional in all the best ways -this warm and seasonal family story touches ever so gently on childhood grief but is wrapped up in a chaotic and heart-warming adventure.
Listen to over 20 original songs,written and recorded by Matt to accompany the story,bringing the joy of a musical to book form!
