A School Gates Comedy

The Misadventures of a Playground Mother : A funny feel-good comedy of life at the school gates: Volume 2

New term. New dramas. New friendships. And that’s just the parents… Hilarious and entertaining, The Misadventures of a Playground Mother is perfect for fans of Fiona Gibson and Tracy Bloom.

After a year of country living, Rachel is finally getting into the swing of things. Her kids are happy and content at the village school, and she’s managed to navigate the choppy waters of the playground mafia. Or… so she thought. When playground mum Penelope moves herself and her kids into Rachel’s home, after discovering her husband has been having an affair, Rachel knows she must ask them politely to leave. The problem is, Penelope never takes no for an answer. As Rachel deals with Penelope, she also meets new mum Melanie. Melanie is a breath of fresh air, but her arrival sends ripples of gossip through the playground. Melanie has a few secrets, and it seems she’s not the only one…
