  • UFO: Unavoidable Family Outing

    There are family outings you can avoid: stuff like visiting your neighbour in hospital after he’s had a massive pimple surgically removed, or a car trip to the chemist to pick up Dad’s long-term repeat prescription for fungus cream.

    But in the family rule book, scribed in the blood of our ancestors, it clearly states that there are some journeys you must undertake. These are the car trips, plane rides, visits, overnight stays and holidays that you simply cannot escape. These are the UFOs - Unavoidable Family Outings. The type of experiences that will be harder to bear than a month of detentions sitting next to the stinky kid.

    These are all real experiences, and Dave Hackett has written them down and turned them into this series of novels for anyone ten or over who enjoys a huge belly laugh.
