The first book in a super new series by bestselling author and queen of comedy, Jeanne Willis.
Is it a bird? Is it a plane? No! It’s . . . SUPERCAT!
After chowing down on a toxic sock lazy fat cat TIger feels a bit funny . . . Well, actually, he feels spectacular! He is no longer Tiger, he is Supercat! Now he can speak, drive, ride a bike and even fly (just kidding – a flying cat would be ridiculous!).
Join Supercat and his best buddy, James, in their first adventure as they try to stop the villainous Count Backwards from taking over the world! 5, 4, 3, 2, 1 – Go!
Aliens are coming… to get up your nose!
They don’t want our oil. They don’t want our water. They don’t want our Brussels sprouts. (Actually, neither do we.) They just want our snot!
Jack and his friends have only one alien left to capture. The best is always saved for last, thought, so none of them should be surprised that this particular alien loves only one thing… poo! But once they’ve made a sickening descent into the sewers, the world should finally be safe. Shouldn’t it?
Packed with maps and information about significant places, this book is a visual trip around the world, featuring the Antarctic to Zimbabwe and all points in between.
Do you believe in fairies? Join Tinker Bell’s sisters on a magical adventure.
Inspired by Tinker Bell, from the book Peter Pan, by J. M. Barrie
Before Tinker Bell flew to Never Land and met Peter Pan she lived on Sheepskerry Island with her fairy sisters – Clara, Lily, Rosie, Silver and Squeak the baby. The young fairies go to fairy school and love tea parties, dressing up and exciting adventures.
Lily’s dressing-up dreams have come true – she’s going to Queen Titania's annual fancy-dress competition. She’s always dreamed of meeting the fashionable town fairies on the mainland, and now’s her chance!
But not everywhere is like Sheepskerry Island, and some fairies are less friendly than others. Without her Fairy Bell sisters to help her, Lily’s adventure spells trouble. How can she turn a dressing-up disaster into a prize-winning success?
