Machines, mysteries and mayhem await Ollie as he travels to a food
festival on a far-flung island. An encounter with a Grand Duchess
leads Ollie on an undercover spying mission, that is his most
exciting and dangerous yet!
From bestselling children's author and illustrator Alan Snow comes
the perfect Father Christmas origin story A beautiful, fresh take
on a classic tale, once read it will become a family Christmas
tradition forever. A beautifully-told and stunningly-illustrated
Father Christmas origin story. Coming together like a perfect
festive jigsaw, this story explains all of the traditions and myths
around Santa Claus, from how he travels around the world in one
night, how his sleigh and reindeer can fly, and why he leaves
presents, to the origins of his red coat. A young boy is herding
his family’s reindeer when they are drawn into a mysterious cave.
The cave is the holder of eternal summer, looked after by three
strange characters – a wooden creature, a bird and a fish. Once
entered, the cave cannot be left without time in the outside world
standing still. In his sadness at not being able to leave, the boy
is granted three wishes and chooses freedom, happiness and time. He
is told that they will all be granted – eventually.
When Aunt Liddle visits ten-year-old Patrick Biddle, she
unknowingly brings along a hitchhiking ant from Scotland-ornery,
overly-dramatic, yet kind-hearted, Lutz McCoon. Before Lutz
continues on to visit his relations at the ant colony in the
Biddle's backyard, he and Patrick become friends. When Lutz McCoon
discovers that all is not right in the colony, he remembers his
friend and returns to seek his help. Patrick is magically shrunk,
and after defeating a beetle in battle (with the help of the
chatty, absent-minded snail, Miss Swelter), enters an amazing
underground world-a place filled with thousands of ants zigzagging
scooters, bicycles, cars, and trucks across thirty lanes of the
Queen's Highway; where Mr. Garble's Grocery Store is stocked with
mosquito legs, fly guts, and caterpillar bellies; where the county
fair includes a flyball soup tasting contest (where Patrick ends
up, quite reluctantly, as one of the judges ); where the Garbage
Police keeps everything spotless. After settling in with the
McGroon family (yes, those McGroons of the "McGroon Green Aphid Ice
Cream" fame), Patrick is assigned as a scout to help defend the
colony. Despite his anxieties, he slowly gains confidence as he
passes each challenge: leading a party of scouts up the giant apple
tree to recruit Mr. Sipple; outwitting Smilk, a spider intent on
eating Patrick and his friends; negotiating much needed help from
stubborn, suspicious Queen Blumpus. His newfound skills, and the
lessons he has learned, are put to a final severe test when he
finally meets the colony's archenemy, Sotrick. Little does Patrick
know that Sotrick is not only menacing, devious and smart, but he
is also leading a secret army intent upon conquering. Will Patrick
pass the ultimate test? Find out what happens to Patrick and his
friends in the comedy, adventure tale: "Patrick Biddle's Great
Adventure."
The subject is one of major interest in basic microbiology and
