Alfie Jolly is 59 and unhappy with his life. More specifically, with his birthdays. You see, none of them have been any goodand with his sixtieth on its way, Alfie cant help but think hes been wronged. Spur of the moment, Alfie decides he wants toreturn/recycle all of his old birthdays. The only trick now is to find out how. A trip the North Pole, a chat with FatherChristmas, and a flight to Egypt later, Alfie meets Father Birthday who, eventually, agrees to help turn back the clock.Literally. Suddenly Alfie is a child again, reliving each birthday and making new and better memories. Like in 1966 when he and hisfamily travel to Disney World, or go to the fair in 1967 or when he relives the moon landing where the love his life, prettySuzy Gentry, sits next to him on the sofa. His life is great with dancing again in classes and racing around with his twin, but itisnt long before shadows start creeping in to this dream childhood of never-ending birthdays. Is it a case of be careful whatyou wish for or be grateful for every moment you have before it ends?
