About the story and features

The Girl, the Penguin, the Home-Schooling and the Gin by Guy Adams is crafted for modern family life.

It’s a book that acknowledges the hard days (homeschooling, endless snacks, the chaos) while celebrating the quiet, irreplaceable moments of togetherness.

Author Guy Adams (born 6 January 1976) brings his background as an author, comedian and actor to the book’s warm tone. Known for works such as The World House and his writing for Big Finish audio plays, Adams offers sharp observational comedy softened by genuine tenderness — a voice trusted by parents and readers who appreciate humour with heart.
