The Toy Show's Adam King has written his first-ever book ahead of Christmas.

The 10-year-old shot to fame after appearing with his 'virtual hug' on the RTÉ show during the COVID pandemic.

His new book 'Farron's Adventure' sees Farron the Viking elf tasked with the mission of saving Christmas.

It follows Farron on his mischievous journey through Waterford City during the Winterval Christmas festival.

Speaking at the launch in Waterford yesterday, Adam said he can’t believe he is now a published author – just like his dad.

“I love reading and books are a big part of my life,” he said.

“I will really enjoy reading this book to my little sister Sarah and my younger cousins.”

Proceeds from the book will go to the 'Junior for Juniors' charity at University Hospital Waterford.

The charity aims to bring comfort to patients in the hospital's paediatric wards.

Adam will officially launch 'Farron's Adventure' at The Book Centre in Waterford City on Saturday, November 9th at 1pm.

The book is now available to pre-order on thebookcentre.ie.
