Published on: 03 December 2017 Author: Catriona Wightman

We might all worry about making Santa's naughty list... but at least not many of us can say we've killed the man himself!

Unfortunately for Jo-Jo, he thinks he might have done just that when he hears his parents arguing on Christmas Eve.

In fact, he thinks they're rowing because he's been so greedy in his list for Father Christmas... and he fears his big demands have done Santa in. Gulp.

But Jo-Jo vows to make amends... by becoming Santa himself!

Anthony McGowan's story is perfect for this time of year, and the beautiful illustrations by BookTrust ambassador Chris Riddell make it even more of a festive treat.

If you just can't wait to get your hands on a copy, though, you're in luck - we have a sneak peek right here! Just take a look through our gallery below:
