Features stories about Derek with his gang in the eighties, quirkily illustrated (by Mac Black), the stories build on Derek’s ability to find disasters and get himself into one mess after another. Sweaty’s tales are about little kids enjoying life, before smartphones and computer games came along. Of course, it is just possible – if you are older than five – that you did all these things yourself…

Mai Griffin –
Deeds and Misdeeds
From the opening sentence to the end, this story is a page-turner. Roy Grantham’s insight into the minds of his characters and their relationships carries conviction and is skilfully handled. Peter’s life was complicated enough and the last thing he needed was to be connected in any way to the death of a child – eyed with suspicion by the police and pursued, relentlessly, by the distraught mother.
I will certainly look forward to reading more from this author.
