The Frank Show

The Frank Show by David Mackintosh, published by HarperCollins Publishers Limited in 2012, is a 32-page work that invites readers into a unique exploration of family dynamics. The story centers around a classroom assignment where students must speak for one minute about a family member. As the characters share their choices, the narrative prompts a reflection on the often-overlooked qualities of less glamorous relatives, particularly grandad Frank.
Readers will find a blend of juvenile fiction with themes of action and adventure, as well as insights into family and school life. The book challenges perceptions of what makes someone “cool” and encourages appreciation for the ordinary. Through its engaging premise, The Frank Show offers a thoughtful look at familial relationships and the value of every family member, regardless of their perceived status.
Official synopsis Publisher
If you had to stand up and talk, for one whole minute, about a member of your family, who would you pick? Everyone else chooses really cool people, like Tom’s Uncle Marlon who plays drums in a band, or Hannah’s mum with her company car. But there’s nothing cool about grandad Frank – or is there?
