Nearly as good as one of my books David Walliams Leo LOVES Christmas. And this Christmas needs to be absolutely perfect because its the first one without Mum. Only it all keeps going wrong! The fairylights are in a tangle the trees wonky and the Christmas biscuits taste AWFUL. Soon Leo decides hes had enough he makes a heartfelt wish that it would all GO AWAY. Then Leo wakes up on Christmas morning and its gone!! All of Christmas! But Leo isnt 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 waysthis 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!
