Can Kado help Father Christmas deliver the very last present?

So begins a magical journey as one young Labrador takes flight on a makeshift bicycle sleigh – through continents and past polar bears, into oceans and over African plains – to find the present’s rightful recipient. Along the way, he’ll discover the beauty and fragility of the natural world and be faced with the BIGGEST surprise of all when he finally finds out what’s inside the Very Last Christmas Present...*

A magical, heartwarming and unforgettable Christmas story with a powerful environmental message at its heart. Get ready to fall in love with this instant classic...

About the author

He now runs the widely respected MA in Creative Writing at Kingston University London. Adam lives in Greenwich, South London, with his wife and three young children. He wrote Boy Underwater (his first novel aimed at younger readers) because they told him to. While still in the flush of youth he knows what his final words are going to be: ‘clear the table’.
