A brilliantly quirky and refreshing narrative of the modern holiday through the eyes of a very British pensioner

Shea Caldwell is distraught when she starts sleepwalking again - a dangerous sleep disorder she thought she escaped after childhood. Not only does her disorder frighten her, its effects have wreaked havoc on her love life - especially when she so desperately wants her handsome work associate, Derrick Oneiros, in her bed.

But Derrick is already aware of Shea's sleep problems; he's a Dream Wreaker - a spirit of the night that bestows dreams on sleeping humans - and he's determined to protect the beautiful Shea Caldwell from herself ... by any means necessary.

Frank Derrick is eighty-one. And he's just been run over by a milk float.

It was tough enough to fill the hours of the day when he was active. But now he's broken his arm and fractured his foot, it looks set to be a very long few weeks ahead. Frank lives with his cat Bill (which made more sense before Ben died) in the typically British town of Fullwind-on-Sea. He watches DVDs, spends his money frivolously at the local charity shop and desperately tries to avoid cold callers continually knocking on his door.

Then a breath of fresh air comes into his life in the form of Kelly Christmas, home help. With her little blue car and appalling parking, her cheerful resilience and ability to laugh at his jokes, Kelly changes Frank's extra ordinary life. She reminds him that there is a world beyond the four walls of his flat and that adventures, however small, come to people of all ages.

Frank and Kelly's story is sad and funny, moving, familiar, uplifting. It is a small and perfect look at a life neither remarkable nor disastrous, but completely extraordinary nonetheless. For fans of The Unlikely Pilgrimage of Harold Fry, The Extra Ordinary Life of Frank Derrick, Age 81 by J. B. Morrison is a quirky, life-affirming story that has enormous appeal. And it's guaranteed to make you laugh.
