Lost Christmas by David Logan
Oct. 27th, 2011 09:11 pmThe Blurb On The Back:
”Give him your hand Frank. Let him tell you what you’ve lost. Old Lady’s lost a bangle, he knows I’ve lost a dog, well you’ve lost something too. Let him tell you what.”
Goose is lost. It’s Christmas, his parents are dead and now his dog Mutt has gone missing. Those around him aren’t doing much better: his uncle Frank’s wife has walked out on him and his Nan is losing her mind.
But then Anthony appears: a man who seems to know everything about those he touches but nothing at all about himself …
Who is he, how does he know so much, and can he help Goose and other lost souls recover what they’ve lost?
( The Review (Cut For Spoilers): )
The Verdict:
David Logan’s novel is a combination of IT’S A WONDERFUL LIFE and SHAMELESS for children. Although elements of the story will be familiar to older readers (who may well guess the twist), it’s still a heart-warming tale that’s told well. I’d recommend it to anyone looking for a Christmas gift for keen readers.
LOST CHRISTMAS was released in the UK on 27th October. Thanks to Quercus for the ARC of this book.
