WILD CARD
HOW I LEARNED TO BE A FRIEND,
HAVE A FRIEND & FINALLY LOVE MY BIRTHDAY.
Martin Milnes was born in the wrong era – or so it seemed.
Martin was different – the cat who walked alone. Birthdays, stingingly empty, held a horrific reminder that he possessed no talent for friendship - whilst Hollywood stars of yesteryear were worshipped from afar.
But on stage, the jeering turned to cheering .... Hope was hilariously at hand!
Martin sailed forth on a Topsy-Turvy expedition into Friendship! When his world shattered, the last surviving veterans of a glamorous era extended their guiding hands. The wisdom, understanding and truths which they passed on completely transformed Martin’s life, outlook and spirit.
But the voyage of self-discovery was far from over ...

This is a coming-of-age, coming-out, come-and-meet-me story that’s by turns funny and touching, revelatory and heart-warming.

I couldn't put it down ... a rollercoaster of a ride.

An absolute delight ... an uplifting tale of how friendship and connection transcends age ... it made me laugh out loud ... a perfect book for the summer.

A lively romp... but it is also a powerful story of coming-of-age and a search for identity. I am excited and proud to have this on my list.
