Frankie’s dad has possibly the most important job in the village of Inbitween. His operation of the Rotor Motor is what keeps power flowing to every home, school and business. Frankie would love to help her dad, however he is sure she is much too young. 


But what happens when one day, Frankie’s dad catches a cold and can’t go to work? Frankie has to take responsibility for the Rotor Motor, with very unexpected results! 

Combining sound, music and voice, Frankie and the Rotor Motor is a delightful sensory adventure for 7-11 year-old ears, created by Carl Kennedy.
