The Playground Mafia by Sarah Tucker

I just loved this book and had difficulty putting it down.  It made me visualise the characters, cheer for the ‘goodies’ and cringe at the women who were classed as the mafia.

For any parent who has to do the daily school run and knows about the ‘politics’ in the playground this is a must.  It’s funny and has some laugh out loud moments.

The story is about Caroline who is  newly divorced with a son Ben and has moved to the trendy area of Frencham where she joins up with her long-time best friends Heather and Eva.

If settling in to a new life is bad enough, settling in to a new school is even worse (and that’s just for the mums!).

In between recruiting people to the PTA activities and dominating life at school, the mafia also have a gossip radar which they are not afraid to use.  But when the mafia target Caroline and her friend Heather a battle ensues and they bite off more than they can chew.

I enjoyed the Playground Mafia so much I am now looking to read Sarah Tucker’s other books.

Interesting Times

Well it’s been an interesting few days.  My other website www.imwags.com looks as though it could take off with the feedback I’ve been getting. 

I now need to take stock of everything and decide on firm goals for both this site and IMWAGs.

But I am starting to feel really motivated by everything although time is still the issue as evenings are the only time I can work.  I’ve just finished reading another great book which I am just working on the review for, I have more writing coming in and my friend, who you may remember is on the strict diet is almost on target.  Wow!
