Summary
Dive in to this funny and heart-warming debut magical adventure from star of stage and screen, Matt Lucas – a festive modern classic for young listeners of 8-12! Narrated by Matt himself.
‘Nearly as good as one of my books’ – David Walliams
Leo LOVES Christmas.
And this Christmas needs to be absolutely perfect, because it’s the first one without Mum. Only it all keeps going wrong!
The fairylights are in a tangle
The Christmas cards aren’t finished
The tree isn’t decorated
And the Christmas cakes have all been destroyed!
Soon Leo decides he’s had enough – he makes a heartfelt wish that it would all GO AWAY.
Then Leo wakes up on what SHOULD be Christmas Day – and it’s gone!! All of Christmas! But Leo isn’t 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.
Home Alone meets A Christmas Carol in a hilarious adventure with a big dollop of festive magic. Funny, sensitive and emotional in all the best ways, this 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!

Lovely
A lovely story with some great musical numbers well performed. Was just a bit disappointed with Matt’s voice, wish he just performed it as himself rather than a childish voice. Lots of talent though, would love to see it on a stage!

Amazing!
Wow! What a book and what a story.
It was heartwarming and lovely, sad but then so funny too.
The music was just perfect and fun too, I’ve never listened to a book quite like it.
Looking forward to the next one :-)

Brilliant!
Great fun, a wonderful listen with children. Although there’s a sad part, there’s wonderful messages and brilliant songs. Hope it turns into a stage show!

My 7 year old loved it!
Bought for my 7 year old, who isn't aware of any of Matt Lucas's previous comedy, etc. My son loved the story. It's original and beautifully written for his age range. The story does touch on grief, which my son has not had to deal with yet, so he was comfortable with it and there are a lot of humorous moments that had my son laughing out loud. There are some really great songs (that my son has asked to listen to over and over again!) and some of the other songs just need skipping! But, to be honest, the few fantastic songs, make up for the boring, whiny ones which we fast forwarded through.
To summarise : The Boy who slept through Christmas is a really lovely children's book, which I would recommend.

Funny, sad, heartwarming.
We really loved listening to this in the car. It’s crying out to be made into a musical. Matt Lucas is super talented - writing all those songs as well as a great story.

Stunning - a masterpiece!
Matt Lucas - you are a genius talent! I laughed, I cried, I held my breath, I sighed with relief! I was totally hooked and moved at the same time. What a beautifully creative way to tell a story that every child and adult who has ever grieved a parent should hear. Thank you Baked Potato! 😌
