Frank and Red

Sometimes, the friend you need is the one you never saw coming. 'A lovely feel-good treat'. The Times. - 'Simply perfect'. Daily Mirror. - 'Hilariously funny. and beneath it all really quite lovely'. The Metro. - Brilliant, just brilliant'. Huffington Post. Frank and Red are a mess. Frank is a grumpy old curmudgeon. A recluse whose only company is the 'ghost' of his dead wife, Marcie. He is estranged from his friends, his son, and the ever-changing world beyond his front gate. And then Red moves in next door. Red is six. A boy struggling to adjust to the separation of his mum and dad, a new school, and the demonic school bully. Red is curious, smart, he never stops talking, and he's got a trampoline. From the moment Red's blonde mop appears over the top of the fence that divides their two gardens, the unlikeliest of friendships is born. And it is a friendship that will change both of their lives forever. Reader reviews:. 'Best book of the year.
