Book SynopsisFlick is just like any other youngster. She loves to chase butterflies and jump in autumn leaves. But life at the end of Holyrood Lane is often violent and unpredictable due to the constant storms that plague her home, causing her to cringe with dread and flee whenever they strike.

And does a moonster called Mr. Cheezy Feet really live there? This book also features two songs: Mr Cheezy Feet and Quennie. The songs have an accompanying QR code to take the reader to a musical version of the song. You can also find music videos of the songs at https://spidthespider.com and https://www.youtube.com/spidthespider.

He is hard-working, cool, and a role model for young children. As well as encouraging children to read and love books, Spid's adventures also teach valuable life lessons, including determination and what psychologists call a 'growth mindset' (desire to better oneself and succeed), the importance of friendship, and sustainability. With very creative prose, Spid's adventures are fun for parents, and teachers to read to, and with, their children. They present lots of opportunities to invest dramatic licence thus helping adults and children interact and engage. The humour works at multiple levels from silly and slapstick to more sophisticated wordplay and concepts. Thus, children will discover more and enjoy reading the stories multiple times.Trade Review"A wonderful story full of adventure, funny characters and interesting facts for children to enjoy reading with friends, siblings and parents!
