Summary
Until quite recently, Ben Parker was considered, by many, one of the finest bakers on the Isle of Man.
Indeed, his wife was once the first to concur with that accolade, directly attributing his culinary skills to her expanding waistline, in fact. So it was ironic, Ben couldn’t help but consider, that she ran off with the dietician he’d hired at her behest.
And soon, despite having his wonderful daughter Ruby, whom he adored, by his side, he struggled to adjust to life being suddenly and unceremoniously single. As such, it wasn’t long until his once-thriving bakery business started falling apart faster than an overly flaky pastry.
So, with no job to speak of and a dwindling bank balance, Ben needed to sort himself out and get things back on track. And his salvation presented itself in an unexpected form: an ailing campsite he felt confident he could rescue.
Sure, taking over another business would be a challenge, but it was one he was keen to embrace. After all, it wouldn’t be that difficult, would it…?
Well, yes, as it should happen. And it didn’t help matters that certain people were so desperate to see Ben fall at the first hurdle that they’d stop at nothing to derail his plans for his next adventure at Life’s a Pitch.

Relaxing listen
Although I found the narration a bit cheesy and Ben’s naïveté irritating it is an easy listening, feel good story

Nice easy escapism
Really enjoyed this, being my first audio book! All the characters were instantly recognisable and you really empathised with the main character, Ben, and it was lovely the relationship he had with his daughter. Nice light-hearted easy storyline which was really enjoyable to follow along with. Everything tied up nicely at the end too.

A lovely read
This was a very enjoyable, feel good read. Loved the narration, an easy listening voice.
It made me want to visit the Isle of Man. Probably a bit too old for camping now though!
Would thoroughly recommend.

Enjoyable feel good story
Really enjoyed listening to this book. The narrator is perfect.
If you want a bit of light hearted fun, with a mix of characters, some larger than life, then I fully recommend it.
Perfect for long car journeys, the miles fly by.
