Book Synopsis

Enter the hilarious world of Sam Quigley, the strange-fact-obsessed owner of two stick insects called Twiggy and Wiggy in Exploding Beetles and Inflatable Fish.

Sam really likes interesting facts, the kind that will make you shout Wow! I never knew that. Things like:
* Woodlice don't pee-instead a smelly gas comes wafting out of their shells
* There is a fish with a stomach so stretchy it can swallow things twice as big as itself
* Bombardier beetles can explode like toxic water pistols!

Written by Tracey Turner, this STEM-focused book is packed with incredible facts and stats about the world's weirdest animals. With a narrative that will have readers hooked, plus cool cartoon-style illustrations by Andrew Wightman, it's a perfect book for fact fans, animal lovers, and reluctant readers alike.
