Matt Lucas Instagram – I’m delighted to learn that my debut novel The Boy Who Slept Through Christmas has been nominated for a British Book Award and I’m very grateful and humbled to be in such amazing company. The response to the book has been overwhelming and I don’t take it for granted. I know what a furiously competitive market childrens fiction is and I’m indebted to my publishers @farshorebooks and also my assistant @emily.greaves and my agents Melanie Rockcliffe and Amanda Harris @ymugroup and their dedicated team, because when I suddenly said ‘oh and by the way this is going to be a musical novel’ they absolutely ran with it. I’m really proud of what we’ve all achieved with this book. The paperback edition will be out later this year, and the music will be on iTunes and Spotify, and I will begin the exciting journey of adapting it for the stage.
