Description
<p>When Jessica Bryant pesters her wealthy parents to allow her to have a dog as a pet, the answer is a resounding "No"; but they soon come to regret their decision when thier home is broken into one evening whilst they are out and their daughter kidnapped and held for ransom. The kidnappers, in the form of four seedy and incompetent characters wearing Disneyland-type masks, take her hostage and keep her incarcerated in a place from which there appears to be no escape. However, they reckon without the resourcefulness of our heroine, and the courage of a wonderful stray dog who comes to her aid and whom she names 'Murdo'. And so begins an exciting and humurous accounting of the couples' adventures together as they consistently foil and outwit the abductors whilst on the run together.<br /> This is a lovely story of the friendship between a girl and a dog, bringing out themes of responsibility, camaraderie, redemption, salvation and self-sacrifice. It includes some wonderful dialogue sequences as Jessica teaches her new four-legged friend how to communicate with her, with additional delightful conversations between the animals when a rabbit and a sparrow join forces with them in an effort to outwit the kidnappers and restore Jessica safely back to her parents' home. </p>
Story Behind The Book
In the past I had great success with my funny Valentine poetry and also wrote some romantic verses for people to share with their loved ones on that special day. At the time I only had a funny poetry blog and the romantic poetry seemed out of place amongst the usual tongue in cheek material there.
So I started a 'serious' poetry blog called poems-2-share where my more emotional poetry could live comfortably.
Last year I brought out a funny Valentine ebook and because I like things to be symmetrical I decided to give my genuinely romantic love poems an airing too. So that is how Banana's Love Poems ebook was conceived. Hope you like it.
