Why I wrote this book

Rob Keeley’s unique combination of traditional children’s storytelling techniques with awareness of the world in which young people now live creates nine highly accessible stories for children today. His hilarious stories will appeal equally to boys and girls aged 8-12, and convey their world in a way they will definitely recognise – whether he is depicting parents’ relationships with their children, the pressures children face today, or the way young people interact with one another. There are tales in the first and third person, character- as well as plot-driven pieces, and some enjoyable games played with the reader’s expectations. This is a reading experience no child - or parent - should miss.
