About This Book

The unforgettable tale of two young boys separated by the decades, but bound together in friendship.

As WWII breaks out, six-year-old Jimmy Sweeney is evacuated from London to the country. He is now an outcast, bullied by the local kids and mistreated by the awful Mrs Cribbins. One night a stranger appears in his room. A tall clean boy who brings him wonderful food and other amazing things. They become friends which is good because pretty soon Jimmy is going to need a friend. His life may depend upon it . . .

Praise for A Shirtful of Frogs:

'While this novel is classified for children, I think it has a lot of cross-over appeal... it reminds me of how The Lion, the Witch, and the Wardrobe started.' Goodreads Reviewer

'This is the type of book that you'll find yourself going back to, reading over and over, far into the night. Really, I can't say enough good things!' - C.S. Einfeld, Author of Neverdark

A historical timeslip adventure suitable for children and adults ages 9+
