The Adventures of the Reptile Kid - Paperback

by Noel Rawle (Author)

The adventures of Patti Doherty, AKA "The Reptile Kid," are teemed with mischief, intrigue, and fool-hardy endeavors. Although his escapades only occurred in three counties in Ireland, his deeds and misdeeds are legendary. His ex-girlfriend often noted that trouble always seem to follow anywhere that reptile dared go. He lived off his wits, reveling in being a walking contradiction to the norm with dating exploits and spiteful quirks, much to his family's dismay. Yet to some he was seen as a modern day Robin Hood. His cousin, Benefubble, despite his virtuous nature, married The Reptile Kid's ex-girlfriend and caused a rift between them. However, Benefubble still remained relentless in telling the kid how foolish and convoluted his aspirations were. At times, he even felt like the Sancho Panza to Don Quixote. In the end, it will be the kid's tortured victim, Mrs. Glynn, who will be his savior.
