What if you accidentally erased the 1984 charity single Do They Know It’s Christmas? A warm, sharply funny British Christmas novel bursting with 80s nostalgia, time-travel chaos, and one impossible choice.
Over 60,000 copies sold worldwide.
When 36-year-old Tash and her younger brother Jamie stumble across a homemade ride their Grandad before passing, they don’t expect it to work—let alone fling them back to October 1984.
They arrive on the day pop star Bob Geldof saw the BBC news report that inspired the historic charity single Do They Know It’s Christmas? and the global movement that followed.
Except… now he never sees it.
Because of them.
Suddenly, the timeline is broken: no Band Aid charity single, no USA for Africa, no Live Aid.
Jamie wants to find Bob and fix the future.
Tash wants to get home to her five-month-old baby waiting in 2020.
What would you do? Go to your baby… or save a million others?
Their mission sparks a rollercoaster through vintage London, fading pop careers, disastrous disguises, and the kind of sibling chaos you can only get away with in the 80s.
Along the way, Tash and Jamie discover that saving the world is one thing—saving each other is something else entirely.
