Leo LOVES Christmas.
And this Christmas needs to be absolutely perfect, because itโs the first one without Mum. Only it all keeps going wrong!
๐ง๐ก The fairylights are in a tangle
๐ โ๏ธ The Christmas cards arenโt finished
๐ The tree isnโt decorated
๐ฐ And the Christmas cakes have all been destroyed!
Soon Leo decides heโs had enough โ he makes a heartfelt wish that it would all GO AWAY.
Then Leo wakes up on what SHOULD be Christmas Day โ and itโs gone!! All of Christmas! But Leo isnโt going to let it escape that easily . . .
Join Leo as he sets out on a mission to undo his wish and get Christmas back in the brand-new festive classic by bestselling author Matt Lucas.
