Synopsis

A funny, feel-good novel packed with 80s nostalgia, heart and family chaos.

Tash should be at home with her five-month-old baby.

Instead, she’s in 1984 with her younger brother Jamie, trying not to have a nervous breakdown.

When they discover a strange, homemade machine their late grandad built in his garage, they assume it’s just another of his weird old projects.

Then it throws them back to October 1984.

Now they’re stuck in a world of cassette tapes, shoulder pads, Smash Hits, and far too many people smoking indoors — and before long, they’ve blundered into something they were never supposed to be part of.

Jamie thinks it’s brilliant.

Tash, meanwhile, would quite like to get back to 2020 before she completely loses her mind.

The problem is, fixing what they’ve done won’t be easy.

Not when it involves celebrity run-ins, terrible disguises, old family baggage, sibling rows, ridiculous plans, and the growing suspicion that getting home again might come at a cost.

Funny, nostalgic and full of heart, Do They Know It’s Christmas Yet? is a warm, witty British comedy about family, grief, second chances, and what really matters when life doesn’t go to plan.

Perfect for readers who love:

• laugh-out-loud humour with heart

• 80s nostalgia and pop culture

• festive fiction with emotional depth

• sibling chaos, family secrets, and second chances

A funny, feel-good Christmas read with real emotional punch — and a gloriously questionable homemade machine
