Rescuing Dad Reviews

Pete Johnson's novel is funny and light but the humour disguises real emotional truth and depth . . . It offers some very funny and pertinent home truths for parents too * Guardian *
A funny, positive and engaging exploration of a modern dilemma from a sure-footed storyteller * Carousel *
Children are often the victims when a marriage falters or fails and in Rescuing Dad, Pete Johnson illuminates this distressing reality with the perception humour which is a trademark of his work . . . The events of Joe's birthday are as fine a piece of slapstick comedy as I have read * Books for Keeps *
Pete Johnson has succeeded in presenting a sensitive subject in a light-hearted way without detracting from its seriousness * Children's Books in Ireland *
