If you're going to read my story, you've got to promise that you won't laugh, and won't feel sorry for me. Here goes, I don't have a Dad. And I don't mean that I had a Dad but he's divorced or died, or that I don't know who he is, I actually don't have one. Are you laughing? Good. But I've found a dog. It's just that Mum doesn't know yet.
From the Author
I wanted to write a book for kids about real kids, tackling contemporary issues in a really fun way. And then my own dog came into it, and almost took over!
