Planet Poultry tells the story of five friends who work together in a chicken processing factory in the North East of England. Each of them is struggling with their own personal dilemas but living in the hope that things can only get better. One day, something monumental happens that changes their lives forever... In this gritty story, we come face to face with real-life issues such as: domestic violence, addiction, depression and the heart-rending tick of the biological clock. Yet there is also an injection of humour and warmth which is certain to keep the reader enthralled and feeling great empathy for these realistic characters who could so easily be their very own neighbours or friends. Whilst reading Planet Poultry, we are taught some valuable lessons: the importance of good friends; to always have hope and never give up because we never know what lies round the corner; and, most importantly, that revenge is a dish best served cold!

There is laughter and heartbreak in the lives of five friends. Norman, Joyce, Tina, Kerry and Colin. All 5 are facing some sort of turmoil but always have time to help each other. Life at Planet Poultry is never dull and the author has written a touching and inspiring story. Anything can happen when you have great mates and a winning lotto ticket wouldn't hurt.
