Media Reviews
Pete Johnson's novel is funny and light but the humour disguises real emotional truth and depth ... It offers some very funny and pertinent home truths for parents too Guardian A funny, positive and engaging exploration of a modern dilemma from a sure-footed storyteller -- Tina Massey Carousel Children are often the victims when a marriage falters or fails and in Rescuing Dad, Pete Johnson illuminates this distressing reality with the perception humour which is a trademark of his work ... The events of Joe's birthday are as fine a piece of slapstick comedy as I have read Books for Keeps Pete Johnson has succeeded in presenting a sensitive subject in a light-hearted way without detracting from its seriousness Children's Books in Ireland
