About
It's the first teatime of the summer holidays, and things have already started to go wrong for Jake Starling.When Jake's mum signs him up for a super boring reading competition, he's convinced that his summer holiday is definitely ruined. But a mysterious trip to the library leads to a bonkers magical adventure, where Jake meets a very strange new friend, in a very, very unusual place. A warm summer evening turns into an exciting race against time, when Jake and his friends encounter a vile creature known as The Nefarious Glub!If you're reading this, then well done! You have found a brilliant book and you should definitely read it! But be warned: if you enjoy sensible stories about princes and princesses and puppies and kittens, this isn't the book for you.'Jake and the Nefarious Glub' is full of all sorts of gross and yucky things, and might make you laugh so much that some snot comes out of your nose. Don't say you weren't warned. Gareth (G.A.) Franks is originally from a small town in Leicestershire, but now resides in the Cotswolds with his wife and children. As a child he loved using a bright pink 'McDonald's' pen and 'Transformers' notepad to write stories about his beloved comic book characters, and - until recently - that was where his writing career began and ended.Much of his adult life has been spent travelling around the pubs and clubs of England playing bass and guitar in a variety of bands (with varying degrees of success). But after finally reaching a state of comfortable middle-age tubbyness, and completing a degree in education, he decided to leave the music to the next generation, swap the old pink pen for a MacBook and start writing again.His debut novel 'Maelstorm' book one in the Gideon Rayne series was published in September 2020.
