Playing outside is lots of fun… until a poor decision teaches you that it’s not. The Around the Corner Man lurks just outside of the safe perimeter. He lies in wait, eager to prey on those who don’t stay by their parents’ side. When Fran goes outside, he’s ready for an adventure, but when he ventures off on his own, he discovers what happens when children disobey the rules. Soon, he’s whisked off to a place far, far away from his family and the playground. Follow young Fran’s adventure as he navigates a fine line between the safe confines of life with Mum, Dad, and grandparents, and ends up somewhere he could have never imagined was true in this fun, informative children’s picture book!

A very well thought out book covering a very important topic for children.
Although can be considered scary for some children it definitely makes the older child think about the dangers of running of without an adult.
I would definitely recommend to those parents who have older children (8+) who are starting to show signs of wanting independence.
Haven’t come across another book quite like this one as authors tend to shy away from this topic for children’s books. Defiantly stands out.

Loved this book. Actually ordered 3 copies via the author so they could be signed :D my youngest (who's 6 years old) got a bit scared. We read it together with my eldest who's 8 and their cousin who's 10. It lead to a big conversation about safety outdoors, and even online and speaking to strangers and wandering off. I really recommend this book!

A nice little read which teaches children about the importance of staying close to a “known” grown-up. Informative without being too scary. Definitely recommend.
