Dad’s Red Dress

“Wickedly witty – a fantastic read!” “Hilarious!”, “Uproariously funny,” and “Guaranteed to put a smile on your face…”, Dad’s Red Dress is the story of Jessie (13) who, like most teenagers, really wants her family to be ‘normal’.

Boringly ‘normal’.

Trouble is, her kid sister, Laura (7) wants to be a saint and thinks she’s been abducted by the Virgin Mary. (Twice; once on a motorbike). In addition, her step-mum, Eva makes erotic feminist installations while Dad becomes Mandy as soon as the front door closes.

Which is fine.

She loves them all to bits but they’ve just moved back to Ireland and this time she wants to try and avoid the bullying that usually kicks off when school friends find out about Dad. So, even though she has known it would happen, when Dad starts the process of transitioning into Mandy, Jessie is conflicted.

★★★★★ Jessie is only thirteen but she has so much going on. Not only has to deal with adolescence and being a teen… but she just moved with her family from LA to Ireland and now … oh yeah, her father decides he wants to have a sex change… Told from young Jessie’s point of  view, this story is touching, sad, joyful and most of the time hilarious.
