The Misadventures of a Playground Mother: A funny feel-good comedy of life at the school gates

â€˜Absolutely blew me away! It is funny, jaw-droppingly shocking in parts and also had me in floods of tears. I would give a 100 stars if I could as this book is that outstandingâ€¦ A truly wonderful book that I was very sad to finish.â€™ By the Letter Book Reviews

New term. New dramas. New friendships. And thatâ€™s just the parentsâ€¦

After a year of country living, Rachel Young is finally getting into the swing of things. Her four kids are happy and content at the village school, and sheâ€™s managed to navigate the choppy (shark-infested) waters of the playground mafia.

Orâ€¦ so she thought.

When playground mum Penelope Kensington moves herself and her kids into Rachelâ€™s home, after discovering husband Rupert has been having an affair, Rachel knows she must ask them politely to leave. The problem is, Penelope never takes no for an answer.

As Rachel tries to deal with Penelope, she also meets new school mum Melanie. Melanie is a breath of fresh air, but her arrival sends ripples of gossip through the playground. Melanie has a few secrets in her closet, and it seems sheâ€™s not the only oneâ€¦

Hilarious and entertaining, with characters you won't forget in a hurry, fans of Fiona Gibson, Kerry Fisher and Tracy Bloom will love this book.

â€˜I loved this bookâ€¦ I was so indignant for her I found myself telling my husband what Penelope was up to next.â€™ Bookworms and Shutterbugs

â€˜Full of drama, laughter from the beginning until the last page, twist, turns and the occasional bombshell. I knew I would like it but as I read on I began to love it and before I knew it Iâ€™d finished and believe me you go on an emotional roller coasterâ€¦ I highly, highly recommend that you read this book as it is a fun, emotional, easy and light-hearted readâ€¦ outstanding.â€™ Laura H Book Blog
