Publisher's Synopsis
The season of good will has come at the right time and we all love a good Christmas story! Excerpt: "Through the smudged, tinsel-framed pane of glass in the library door, a barricade of chairs and upturned furniture had appeared. It was a monumental construction and had drained all the architect's energy. His cheeks were flaming red. Blood had rushed to his head and he wasn't thinking clearly. The only thing now which would satisfy his craving for a fight would be the appearance of Wayne Ruddock and his gang and he was determined that this time he would blast them into the heavens, good will to all men, or not! If Barney had been with him, then things might be different." Zachary James Brown's behaviour was bad and he was a terror at school. He called everyone 'schewpid doughnuts' and even attacked Father Christmas, pulling off his beard! The teachers were at their wits end. However, in the lead up to the Christmas festivities Mr. Connaught, the deputy headteacher, comes to his rescue. This wonderful, heartwarming Christmas story about a young boy who is pining for his pet dog Barney, is aimed at boys and girls all over the world who have ever lost someone and found it difficult to cope. However, within these pages the author has planted the seeds of hope.
