The Fifth Day of Christmas Carol Owens

KJ is a 10 year-old boy who has gone to live with his grandparents after his family has been torn apart by domestic violence. Grief-stricken and traumatised he is unable to talk about what he has seen until an unexpected turn of events makes him realise that there is something he can do to salvage what is left of his family - if only he can find a way to talk about it. Eventually KJ is able to begin to tell his story by drawing a series of pictures and the surprise arrival of another family member strengthens his resolve to do whatever he can to bring his family back together - but will it be in time for Christmas?
