Deer Life
Deer Life | Ron Sexsmith
6 posts | 3 read | 1 reading | 1 to read
A humorously dark fairy tale, wherein young Deryn Hedlight (mistakenly) kills a dog that belongs to a witch, setting into motion a series of unexpected events. Deryn Hedlight was not having a very good day and it was about to get much worse. Hed read stories of witches as a boy, but never believed for a second they were true. That is, until an unfortunate hunting accident turns his world upside down. An honest mistake, it would seem, leads to an altogether unexpected transformation. But poor Deryn isnt the only wronged character tied up in these gloomy circumstances and sinister forces. Deer Life tells the story of a kind-hearted boy from Hinthoven and his mothers undying love. Its a wicked fairy tale of witchcraft, bullying, revenge, and a mysterious bowler hat. Mostly though, its all about patience, friendship, and heroism where you least expect it.

I read this book before I realized that Ron Sexsmith was also a singer. And he‘s apparently touring with the Barenaked Ladies now. #TBTReads

Had the pleasure of hearing Ron Sexsmith talk about his new book Deer Life today at London Wordsfest. He also played a couple tunes as well! Looking forward to cracking this one.

Though advertised as a children's book, I would classify this as more of a middle grade novel. There's some dark subject matter that just seems better suited to kids who are a little older. The plot of this story follows a fairly predictable line of a witch wandering the countryside, seeking revenge on people who haven't actually wronged her, which leads other people to band against her in order to break all of the spells she's cast.

TricksyTails The cover is beautiful! 6y
JacintaMCarter @tricksytails They should have used the same artist for the internal artwork, because the author's drawings were not impressive. 6y

Yes, it's a fairy tale but it really is meant for a younger reader. In September I'll be hosting a giveaway for Deer Life when it's my turn on the blog tour. I'll post details on the day!

merelybookish Is this by the singer Ron Sexsmith? 7y
Penny_LiteraryHoarders @merelybookish yes! This is his first foray into writing. 7y

I'm reading this for a blog tour for Dundurn. This is a fairy tale - something I don't read - and like Ron Sexsmith asks, I'll need to suspend belief and just read and enjoy. Let's see how this goes! I'm starting this one since it's short - because I'm at the salon getting the greys washed out of my hair. 💇🏻😁
