A heartwarming, easy-to-read holiday dramedy for adults that will remind you what it was like to be a kid during Christmas.

What if you could gift someone the meaning of life?

That is Wally Palmer’s hope this Christmas. Third grader Wally lives alone with his father, an ill professor struggling with depression and unable to summon much holiday spirit. When his father reveals that the source of his sadness is not knowing the meaning of life, Wally becomes determined to find it for him.

In this holiday comedy, Wally and his best friend, Sarah, embark on a quest to find the meaning of life over their school’s winter break. They’ll face Wally’s greatest fear, dogs; Sarah’s cunning little sister; and worst of all...cops.

Wally will do anything to see his father happy this Christmas, but will his determination be enough?

Content warning: While Wally and the Holiday Jailbreak is told through the eyes of a third grader, it is an adult comedy that includes mature content. Parental discretion is advised.

If you like David Sedaris’s Holidays on Ice, Fredrik Backman’s A Man Called Ove, Wes Anderson’s Moonrise Kingdom, or the Home Alone franchise, you’ll both laugh out loud and cry as you enjoy Wally and the Holiday Jailbreak by your roaring fire this Christmas.
