For Lyle McNorton, life after university isn't turning out as expected. Everything was supposed to fall into place. Instead, Lyle finds himself unemployed and living alone, writing in hidden places with the pencil he carries in his pocket, waiting for something to happen. When equally directionless ex-girlfriend, Holly, comes back into his life, they find new ways to distract themselves. But what begins as a bit of fun doesn't stay that way for long.

'What a great and surprising book.'

'Yes he is awful, but there is a certain truth in his awfulness that makes you think that there is hope for him...and perhaps for all of us.'

how we choose to play
"A lovely book that encourages children to embrace all that they want to do and be."
​​
'This is truly a breath of fresh air that takes delight in the (very serious) art of play and welcomes the differences the children have from each other and recognises the values within them. What a fabulous skill for children to learn so early!'
​​
'It is visually unlike anything I have seen. It's so original.'
​​
reviews: unconscious adventures
'Fran Heath's charming and original book of daily dreams is disarmingly honest, sometimes unsettling and often laugh-out-loud funny. It's perfect for dipping into.'
​​
'The drawings are childlike but not childish: naive and witty at the same time even though the text and associated comments are delivered deadpan.'
