Frank and Red

Sometimes, the friend you need is the one you never saw coming.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.Praise for Matt Coyne:''A hero for dads everywhere'' Daily Mirror''Very, very funny'' This Morning''Hilarious but accurate account of finding your feet as a parent . . .
