About the Book

Sometimes, the friend you need is the one you never saw coming. Frank and Red are a mess. Frank is a grumpy old curmudgeon. A recluse whose only company is the 'ghost' of his dead wife, Marcie. He is estranged from his friends, his son, and the ever-changing world beyond his front gate. . . . And then Red moves in next door. Red is six. A boy struggling to adjust to the separation of his mum and dad, a new school, and the demonic school bully. Red is curious, smart, he never stops talking, and he's got a trampoline. From the moment Red's blonde mop appears over the top of the fence that divides their two gardens, the unlikeliest of friendships is born. . . . And it is a friendship that will change both of their lives forever. Praise for Matt Coyne: 'A hero for dads everywhere' Daily Mirror 'Very, very funny' This Morning 'Hilarious but accurate account of finding your feet as a parent . . . Matt Coyne's post has struck a chord with parents from all over the world' Daily Mail 'Brutally honest rant on the reality of parenthood has taken the internet by storm' Sunday Telegraph

About the Author :
Matt Coyne is from Sheffield, South Yorkshire. In September 2015, his life was turned upside down by the arrival of his son, Charlie. Three months into parenthood, he took to social media to write about his experience as a clueless first-time dad. Within days, his post about surviving the early months of parenthood was shared by millions around the world. Following this, Matt created his popular blog Man vs Baby, which now has more than 500,000 followers. He is the author of two Sunday Times bestselling books - Dummy and Man vs. Toddler - both based on Man vs Baby and has written for the Guardian, Telegraph, Private Eye and GQ. The Dead Dads Club is Matt's second novel, following his acclaimed, award-winning debut Frank and Red. Matt lives in Sheffield with his son Charlie, his partner Lyndsay and a Jack Russell terrier with 'issues' called Popcorn.

Review :
A lovely feel-good treat . . . Matt Coyne's beautifully crafted, warmly funny book gives us Frank and Red's perspectives on navigating the upheavals in their lives and their road to friendship. Red's reckless attempt to reunite Frank with his adult son adds some high-stakes drama, but it's the little moments of connection, compassion and healing that will melt you. Coyne weaves, with warmth and humour, the story of Marcie and Frank's marriage with Red's misadventures at school . . . Themes of love, loss and family are beautifully explored in this heart-warming and imaginative debut. Warm, tender and very funny. A triumph of heartstring-pulling. Cue an unlikely friendship that will evoke every emotion in you - including much hilarity. This author has funny bones. From the first page you'll be sniggering at his wry observations until you find yourself crying (even sobbing) at the heart-warming journey these two unlikely characters go on. This does not feel like a debut fiction. Masterfully written, it's the book you never knew you needed. Warm, heartfelt and laugh out loud funny, I adored Frank and Red and couldn't put this book down. Heartwarming. Heart-warming, perceptive and empathetic, not to mention very funny, Frank and Red is a genuine joy to read. It's properly funny while packing a huge emotional punch. This is one of those books that reminds you of what it means to be human. Highly recommend. The pair are such wonderful characters and I was utterly charmed by them from the very first page. A very funny story about friendship and acceptance. Heartfelt, humorous and hugely entertaining. A warm-hearted, weepy, riotously funny, feel-good novel. The heart-warming, funny and really rather cleverly woven debut novel. Matt Coyne's novel of an unlikely friendship between a grieving widower and a six-year-old boy has already garnered a heap of five-star reviews for its humour and its warmth. Perfect for fans of Nick Hornby . . . The dynamic between curmudgeonly old Frank and the lively, intelligent Red is a joy to read and the two characters serve up charm in bundles. Loneliness is a central theme of Frank & Red but, set within the context of human resilience and friendship, this theme enhances the heartwarming qualities of an accomplished first novel. Coyne guides readers from laughter to tear as the duo's story unfolds - this beautiful tale of unlikely friendship will stick with you for a long time. Absolutely brilliant. Anyone who reads it will be highly recommending it!! Bravo Heartwarming, funny, and poignant. I laughed. I cried. I loved it. [A] lovely book. Can't put this down . . . Honest, heartwarming and woven with brilliant, warm humour. We loved every line of Frank and Red, Matt Coyne's brilliant book. It's really hard to write genuine children, and non-stereotypical elders, and Matt does it with real genius. The relationships between Frank and Red is utterly heartwarming and laugh-out-loud funny . . . I adored it.
