George is about to spend his third Christmas without his mum. Since she died, George's life has felt dull and grey; his dad has thrown himself into his work and has no time for family, and definitely no time for Christmas. Then, George stumbles across Marley's curiosity shop. There he finds a mysterious snow globe, which - though George can't quite understand how - appears to show a scene from George's past. A Christmas in which he and his family were together, and happy... That night, George and his dad are swept on an adventure to three christmases - Past, present, and future. With help from New friends, and just a touch of magic, can they begin living life in full colour again? A stunning modern imagining of Charles Dickens' Beloved classic, a Christmas Carol. 'A supremely confident writer' Telegraph 'vividly exciting and poignant... Destined to become a Christmas classic' Louise O'Neill.
