The wish list - Martina Reilly

Like any married couple, Allie and Tony have their fair share of heartache, but when Tony's actions force Allie and her young sons out of their home things take a desperate turn for the worse. Allie must cope with two inquisitive children as well as the reappearance of her estranged father. When her son Mark befriends a mysterious neighbour, Jeremy, Allie's glad he's found a distraction. The only trouble is that Mark believes Jeremy is Santa Claus and that he can put the family back together - and while Jeremy becomes increasingly mortified at the mix-up, he also thinks a little magic never did anyone any harm - did it?
