About the Book

It’s December and Christmas is just around the corner. Twelve-year-old Youngho is a Korean boy with a unique talent: he can get himself into more trouble than anyone – faster, deeper and messier each time. Chadori is his dog from Bristol, England. Chance brought the two together and now they are inseparable. But Youngho’s simple and happy life becomes fragmented after his grandad passes away. Life just isn’t the same any more. Little does he know, however, that he is in for an incredible surprise. An extraordinary gift awaits him – a miracle that will change him forever …
