Lost Christmas by David Logan (author)

Since his parents died in a car crash on Christmas Eve, Goose has been a lost boy. As he sinks into a lonely life of petty crime, his dog Mutt is the only thing keeping him sane. But then, exactly a year to the day since the accident, Goose meets Anthony – a strange man who has forgotten who he is, but seems to know more about others than they know themselves. And when Mutt disappears, an adventure begins which draws in many people who have lost things. There’s Frank, who has lost his family; an old lady who has lost a precious bangle; an elderly doctor who has lost his wife; and a mother who has lost her daughter. But at the centre of the mystery is Anthony himself. Can he help Goose and the others to find the peace they are searching for? A delight from start to finish, this seasonal adventure takes readers on a terrific journey through love, loss and the quest for home.
