Frank and Red

The 'warm-hearted, weepy, riotously funny, feel-good' story of an unlikely friendship.
The brilliant, heart-warming debut novel from the Sunday Times best-selling author of Dummy and Man vs Toddler

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.
