Frogs for Watchdogs is a story about a young boy with a very active imagination. He lives with his mother and his sister Bea but isn’t happy about his mum spending time with this new man, Jerry. This is a brilliant debut and I particularly loved the narration of the audiobook. A really great read.

Absolutely brimming with all the charm of an impish child, Frogs for Watchdogs is an absolute masterpiece, written in a beautifully executed script we journey with a little boy who’s world is changing in front of his very eyes. So he does what all children do, he escapes to fairytales, but not all tales come alive like the boys do., and not all little boys know how to get rid of a man like Jerry Drain.

A stunning insight into the mind of a child learning to accept a step parent, the reeling against it the slow acceptance and ending with the nearest thing to family you can get.

I particularly loved the little snippets from Jerry himself. We forget that it’s equally hard on the new adult.

Touching, heartfelt,darkly funny and lyrically beautiful! I loved it!
